Tell me that’s not an upside down 9 they're using as a 6 in the 3.6 script. This car gets scarier every time it’s posted for sale.

Trader,

I don't think you are correct. I compared the ebay photo with some of the pictures from the C2turbo picture thread and the "6" looked the same. The only difference is that on the ebay car, the "6" seems a little larger, but this could be because of the angle of the shot.

Btw, I don't think this car is worth the buy it price. That is the same price as a normal 3.6 turbo, and we all know that this car is anything but.

O I hear yaa on the value of this car, not in my lifetime would I pay that price for that thing. The 6 just looks like a 9 turned over off the back of a 996 that had those special 911 rear scripts.

I agree that the 6 doesn't look right.

These guys were trying to sell this thing a year ago. I may be wrong but it looks like it may be the standard 6 fell off and was glued back improperly.

Wicked seems to take damaged cars and converts them into who knows what and tries to sell them.

The car looks to be a 993 that was converted to a 3.6 turbo look alike. Notice the 993 rear mounting points for the third brake light and as Miles pointed out the 993 wiper configuration.

I read the vin as a 1994 C2 Tiptronic Coupe.

All of this guys creations are garbage. He lives a few miles north of me and I see his abominations all the time, they're all unbelievably crappy and most people who buy them aren't enthusiasts, rather poseurs looking for the perfect car to rid them of their insecurity.

I guess that sums it up.
