It's really abandoned? Where is it?

(*Sigh*) FINE! I'll take it ;-)

It's not a 930, just a 911 with a body kit.

Correct the huge amount of dish on the rear wheel means it does NOT have 930 rear trailing arms.....which stick out much further !! Probably an updated early 911 odds are fiberglass body parts...little magic there

While there where companies who installed these kits (metal and fiberglass) to new cars, its more likely from a front end collision. The Gotti wheels look nice but could also be a reproduction too. To me this car screams a past wreck and a poor conversion and multiple other electrical problems. Just my 2 cents.

I don't get the front end wreck theory. You can't do a wide body rear end without doing the front.

back in the day...many early 911s would get updated after a crash or theft recovery. Long hood cars would get the tub clipped and the "new" big crash bumpers installed to make a 1971 look like an 1989 or so. Often done with stolen late model parts. Make a $5,000 car look like a $45,000 car.
Was quite popular for people with large cash incomes who did not wish to get reported as paying cash for a new Porsche and did not qualify for loans Just make cash installment payments to a body shop....
