Isn't it a there a law in Norway or Sweden about taxing on cars that makes a pickup much cheaper than a standard car? I know I've seen a few different 928 Pickup conversions

Quite close, it's Denmark

I knew there was a good reason for such a modification. Again, I've seen many pictures of 928's with a pickup conversion.

It's not so much how, but why?

Bcause of 205% tax on the purchase price for a car and 25% for a truck. 0% if the truck is used in a business.

I like it. I understand the reason for doing it. If I were in a country where taxes were out of control (wait.....I AM!) and the choice was b/t a 951 P/U or no Porsche at all, I'd break out the sawsall!
