What an extra wide 993 butt looks like (while still sporting an engine from Porsche)...
RSR body panels to fit 11" and 13" wide slicks (equivalent to 275/335). It's a Frankencar that I'm quite happy with.

If this car were at the track (and if it had a proper P-car motor), we'd all be slipping in our drool.
Forget about blowing up the 915, this thing has a 1971 SUSPENSION...

Really? Where in the ad does it state this? Hell, assuming that is an antiquated suspension, if I saw this car at the track, I'd still think it looks pretty damn cool.

BTW, 964 cup cars running on GTC1 are required to run nearly fifteen year old-technology suspensions.

Porsche 1971 911t.Interior is all 1998 993 grey leather power seat and power windows. Other mods include 1998 super wide race body conversion(about 8inches wider than 1998 993 twin turbo) with gt3 wing,all lighting is 1998 993(headlights and tail lights) 3 piece wheels 18inch by 9.5inch front and 18inch by 13inch in rear (chrome), front brakes are 4 piston porsche turbo calipers and cross drilled rotors,trans is a 915 (5 speed),motor has been converted to a brand new ZZ4 chevy crate engine (only has 100 miles on it) with a renegade hybrids serpintine belt system, to much to list.If interested please contact SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY No test drives.If you want heads to turn and want a one of a kind this gone be it. 30,000.00 obo NO TRADES

Might look cool, and it might have some goodies on the suspension, but if it's an early seventies T and he didn't drop some SERIOUS coin into it (a lot more than the thirty he's asking) I'd assume it still has something approximating its trailing arm heritage. What, maybe turbo trailing arms? Even the 964s you mention have a much more modern suspension. Wouldn't it be a serious deal to get a 964 or 993 suspension into one of those? (That's not a rhetorical question, I'm really asking...)

I'm not saying it doesn't look cool, but it might feel kind of squirrely on the track - til the engine falls out.
