Double salvage title IIRC. Caveat emptor.

That car has been through the wringer more than once I'll tell you...still a GTS for cheap money, but it will take a TON of money to bring it back to true GTS form! Notice the 911 sport seats instead of the VERY expensive and VERY heavy GTS seats... Looks like the whole car needs to be painted along with some other work on panels needing to be done. Then you have interior work and then to sort it out mechanically... Cha-Ching!

Buying a car which has had a blower run on it is asking for trouble ....same with NOS . There are so many ways to screw things up with poor installation, inadequate tuning, and the temptation to abuse it.

In general, I disagree with your assessment about cars with blowers or NOS, but in this particular case, I agree 110%!

At the rate I am getting pulled over in the red car the jury is still out on me staying out of jail... not even for speeding! Seems some don't like my EURO plate on that back! LOL!
