My uncle lives right around the corner. Perhaps I can convince him to take some photos.

Correct.
After the Group C, 968 turbo RS and the carrera RSR 3.8 were built for the new GT championships (in Germany it was the "ADAC GT Cup").
Therefore a street legal version (968 turbo S resp. carrera RS 3.8) had to be built.

I'm tempted to look into this car. Tried "search" came up with nothing. Anyone with real "info",DON'T BUY IT advise? What were the issues?

There are a few threads about this car. Apparently, it has serious overheating issues that have never been solved. The car has been for sale for YEARS!

Try this:

If that doesn't work, do a search for "Powerhaus turbo conversion"

Seller will not answer my questions about previous issues. Maybe they don't want to sell.

The car has been for sale on consignment for 7 years or more moving from one place to another. It is possible the current seller has no idea these issues even exist.

The shop where its currently on consignment is not far from me, ive been there a few times to have state inspections done. They are good guys, but they never struck me as modded turbo guys. So i wouldnt expect them to know too much about it.

It might be worth buying in the $25K range. It's way too pricey now.
