Hmm, bought for $65k at the auction and now trying to flip it for exactly double that!
I know for a fact that my car has more original 968 turboS/RS parts in it than this car. This bodes well for my car, so I am glad they are asking what they are.
Great!

I get out that way quite a bit over the summer. Might have to drop in... ;-)

But at $130K, I don't think it's going anywhere for a while.

Thumbs up

Makes this pair of Aussie RS Reps look like a bargain!

Both reportedly built by Fitzgerald Racing, brothers to the one in the video posted earlier by Thingo, so close to being the real deal...

I am considering going out there to check it out, but as you mentioned, it is really out there!

Or, for just a mere 30 grand more, they'll sell you this 944 Turbo Cup!

The ad spouting the nonsense that there were two Turbo RS variants, the regular and the 'le mans'. Never a factory description, but favored by some of the know-nothings.

I wonder what sort of money it takes in general to do a conversion

12k - Lindsey 3L
3k - Engine management, exhaust, intercooler
4k - RH speedlines
3k - hood fab work
2k - finished rear wing
2k - LSD diff if car not equipped

Even if you through in another 10k for suspension and brakes and another 10k for installation it would be far short of 130k.

a Turbo S transmission has different gears from the 01e parts bin and different ratio diff.

I like it.

At that price I'd expect all the little missing parts to be there, but as Raj said it would be great for all owners if it sold for anywhere near that amount.
