Default Bring a trailer: 12k-Mile 1991 Porsche 964 Koenig Specials

I've never seen this one before... going to be fun watching this auction. Currently @ $20,000 (9 bids) and six days left.

12k-Mile 1991 Porsche 964 Koenig Specials
#1 of 8 964-Based Examples Produced
http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-porsche-koenig/

This 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 has just 19k kilometers (~11,800 miles) and was modified by noted German tuning house Koenig Specials for the Japanese market. This example was the first of eight 964-based Carreras that were given the Koenig treatment, which included fitting a supercharger to the 3.6L flat-six. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, and additional modifications include Koenig-specific bodywork, 17″ 5-spoke Modia wheels, Recaro sport seats, Momo steering wheel, and a VDO boost gauge. The car was recently imported from Japan by the selling dealer and is sold with a clean Pennsylvania title and correspondence from Walter Koenig verifying its authenticity.

I fee bad for that car. It's impossibly ugly in a way only a 90s car can be.
Wonder what, if it's even possible, it would cost to return to to stock.. or at least ditch the body additions.

Most interesting part of this conversion...



Part of the Koenig conversion included adding a non-intercooled Albrex supercharger to the factory 3.6L flat-six. Though performance figures are unavailable for this particular car, similar setups with a supercharger are said to be good for more than 300 horsepower.

It's like they took a 964 and tried to turn it into a Mustang.

Edited: Now looking at bigger photos, what I thought was red paint and primer showing is probably a reflection. My fault....

That is a combo of "two bag" ugly, and "coyote ugly", rolled into one.

Sadly, what has been seen, can not be unseen.

Cocaine was still a popular drug in the late 1980s. QED.

An interesting interpretation to say the least. I'll watch the auction just to see what someone values this car at.

I just threw up in my mouth. Poor car. Imagine the price differential that car would bring if original body still remained.
