Default Norbert Turbo cab again??

I am assuming this is the car we had discussed previously?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ebaymotors/1991-P...orcev4exp=true

Everything seems to be in order however what doesn't make sense is why would Porsche sell a car with a custom option like this and not charge any extra over the standard turbo? I would assume the cost would be considerably higher for a unique option but the CofA states standard turbo pricing for the time. VIN appears to be turbo.

I´m sorry. I simply can´t believe that Porsche AG is willing to brake all the rules and send officially a not roadlegal Cabriolet with Coupe VIN to USA. Look at what was in need to import a few Cup-Carreras at the same time ... No matter what is written on the COA ...

How difficult would it be to photoshop a COA? I don't know the history of this car or the previous threads in regards, but a single piece of paper titled as a COA when a VIN comes up to a different vehcile in my line of work is called a clue.

Surely no one on the planet would dump that much coin to an ebay seller with zero feedback... Even if the COA was signed by Ferdinand himself.
