Default Curious... Turbo or Carrera 2- reliability of Autocheck reports

Ok - I'm curious here. Here's a 993 Turbo on ebay but the autocheck report shows it as a Carrera 2. The photos look like a turbo- but the VIN check on Autocheck report it as a Carrera 2. I assume it's a mistake, but I wonder how often this happens.

Check out this link to ebay:
Turbo for Sale on Ebay

When you check it out, the autocheck says its a Carrera 2.

Your Vehicle's Description:
VIN: WP0AC2994TS375195
Year: 1996
Make: Porsche
Model: 911 Carrera 2
Style/Body: 2 Door Coupe
Engine: 3.6L H-6 EFI DOHC 2-TC
Country of Assembly: Germany

The Full Autocheck Report

The photos show the intercoolers, turbo wheels, widebody, big reds, etc...

Is it typical that Autocheck shows an error like this?

Curious....

The VIN looks right to me. Notice that the Autocheck also says its a "DOHC". My guess is that Autocheck doesn't know its butt from a warm rock.

If you go to the p-car.com VIN decoder, it says it's a 95 Turbo Coupe. I think Autocheck is wrong.
