...and a modified rear and tail...and different wheels...and standard mirrors...and didn't Ruf badge the Yellowbird as a Ruf, not as a Porsche?

strange car. The bodykit is a 964 Turbo and it came 6 years later... and RUF would never let the Porsche crest on the hood be there when the conversion is ready. RUF builds there own cars.
List is too long for a guy who has been in the real deal.

Yeah it is probably FAKE!
Not certain but don't believe RUF made any Yellowbirds on the 964 chassis. Also for the sake of speed Ruf usually uses narrow body cars whether it is a body in white from the factory and given a RUF vin or a customers Porsche which will parobably still carry the original vin.

This is fraud. I have those exact pictures on my computer already, probably after doing a Google image search. Run away!
The pics are of a real Ruf CTR, but not CTR #1 which has those funky ducts in the rear arches that Marc may be thinking of and a different front bumper without those big holes.

Honestly, I can't imagine someone from Rocky Mountain House owning a real Ruf. Besides that the vin is from a vehicle for sale at Circle Imports in Long Beach. Plus it has Newfoundland plates on it. Smells fishy. (Pardon the pun; Canadian Humour.)

Just for fun, I sent the seller a question (hiding my own email from eBay)... the seller was listed as having an alternate eBay account and "speaking a different language". In other words, likely not living in Alberta as represented. Heh heh....
