Pretty sure the car at the top is not a factory car. Those are not factory rocker covers (no hole for the jack is the give away). Although there were a very limited number of factory slant nose (aka option 505) turbos that were sold with a targa, and it is conceivable someone could modify the he factory slant front fender to house the 928 headlight, the 505 cars (and all the late 80s turbos) had fog lights integrated into the air dam just like the 3.2 Carrera.
It COULD be an early turbo targa with an aftermarket body kit, but since turbo targas were relatively rare, my guess is this is a 911SC with an aftermarket 505 body kit. Although someone put some money into it though.
The car in the magazine looks like it could have been a factory option. I can't read the language to see if it implies it was factory or aftermarket. Notice the different rear spoiler. The one on the magazine has the late 70s "Turbo Carrera" rear spoiler which would be correct for 1977. The white car at the top has the late 80s "930" rear spoiler. And I'm pretty sure Porsche didn't offer the body slats on the rear fender until the 1987 505 package. The car in the first post definitely seems to be a piece together of various generations of cars.

They have been around since the late 1970's. A few tuners had done that notably Buchmann und Buchmann, and Troutman of Costa Mesa. Seeing those growing up in Hong Kong, I thought they were the coolest looking Porsches.
