Too funny (well not really that funny) as prior owner (that gave to this dealer to sell) PM'd me directly stating it was in great condition, ran great and needs nothing etc!!! You find out it needs all? If your data is true feel like blowing the prior owner up..... but that is the problem with cars, hard to find out whom is being honest......

All second hand info, only your own ppi will tell for sure. It's been at least 60k mi since the rac work was done by my math, that by itself is a lifetime in these engines, so you know it needs at least a reseal, ( and you know it's never just a reseal....).
I'd be interested to know if the work was done while rac was Ruf or was it post Ruf, makes a huge difference. Still a great car, I'd be interested at the right price.

So other than the exhaust what makes this a Ruf conversion? If not done by ruf who did it. Back in the day all authorized Ruf conversions were done by Exclusive in mOntclair NJ. It would be interesting if the turbo S tail was a RUF piece which would mean it was made by the same company as the factory tail. If it was by changing it back to a stock tail they devalued the car IMO. Alos they note K24 used? was this a Twin turbo conversion? Otherwise why would you go from a K27 to a K24?

Still checking, based on the receipts he sent me looks like they did a rebuild with a bunch of Ruf parts, but a true Ruf 964 BTR conversion probably wasn't done.....work in progress, will advise. Still a decent car, wish they kept the s deck lid......

That would be correct..
Exclusive was THE Ruf distributor for many years, although there was also an outfit in the Chicago area at one point that was a distributor.
I think the current/most recent distributor is in the Detroit area, and as you said opened around 2010/11. Not sure if they are still the active distributor but believe Ruf will be opening "RUF USA" in CA sometime in the near future.

At the end of the day it's a 120k mi modded 964t with a lot of Ruf parts, but a true Ruf conversion it isn't. Pity, bc at the time rac was a Ruf dealer and for a few more dollars one could've done a true conversion.
It will make somebody a nice project, given the time since the rac build, plan on possibly needing a rebuild soon. I'm out on this one.

It makes all the right noises, the gearbox is amazing, the brakes are like dropping an anchor, and the suspension is firm yet amazingly compliant.

These can be removed for street driving or installed for DE or Club events, this very nice feature to make this car truly dual purpose. Thedoor s have been gutted for light weight and additional room for roll cage. You could easily have a second set of doors with windows if you wanted, they would just bolt on. The suspension is very compliant and easy to live with, especially for a track set up. It is all fully adjustable for dampening and ride height. It does come with the GT2 Evo High blade wing as well. It really makes the car look wild! It has just had a full service and checked out, so it is ready to go. The seats are on adjustable tracks, making it easy for any driver to get the right position. You can only imagine the amount of money spent on this car, plus with the escalating prices Porsche, especially Turbo Cars.
