Interesting cab.
IIRC Someone was asking a little while back about wide body 993 cabs, so
thought this might be of interest:
http://medicimotorsports.com/Porsche...Cabriolet.html
No affiliation etc, etc. - Just trolling around the web and stumbled into it. I'd personally be wary as hell of any body conversion - Plus there's enough car salesmanspeak in this ad to make your teeth itch...Still, interesting to see what one looks like, as it does actually appear to be a wide-body cab (albeit a somewhat blingy one).

[QUOTE=Scott 1996 993c2]So ... it's just a "turbo-look" wide bodied car??? The ad says nothing about actually have a turbo engine. If so ... waaaaaaay too poseur. 
Err...If my eyes don't deceive me, It's a wide-bodied 993 cab. I don't recall
ever seeing one before. (I also didn't mentioning anything about the engine in my initial post.)

You didn't have to mention it. It's written in script on the back of the car.
"THIS IS A FACTORY LIKE TURBO WIDE BODY 911 993 CABRIOLET!"
What exactly does "factory like" mean? I always thought it was either factory or not.
Interesting door panels, though. Never seen that before.

Looks like the bodywork is correct, not bad on that - but Turbo "aluminum" front fenders? huh??
And why the hell would you choose a cabriolet tiptronic as a base for a widebody conversion? That's as poseur as it gets!

Hey Matt -
I was not cracking on you ... was directed towards the owner/seller.
