Is there a 95 wide body?
I sold my 95 cab today and now I'm looking for a coupe. I just found one advertised as a turbo body car. Did they make one in 95? The pics are horrible but it looks like it has turbo rockers but a standard front bumper and rear spoiler.

That is a wide body car with narrow body nose and a 95 deck lid. Somthing is out of wack.
Whats up with that color? Do you know this car? Wonder what the story is on this?
Looks really cool with the NB bumper though.

Wanted to pop in here again and say that color is amazing.
Looks like the car is a "second creation" of some type? The color looks great!
Almost like polar silver with no metalics?
I sure would like more photos and to know more about that color.

Actually contacted the seller with the same question. Here's what he said:
"This car started as a standard Carrera in North Carolina (white) and was converted to a wide body before heading to California. They did a quality job per Daniel Jacobs and re-sprayed car to silver. No performance issues. Wider stance grips great on turns and there is no flex issues."
He seems to be very straight up about the car but I got cold feet because it sounded like a lot of work done to it.
I guess it's worth asking the crowd here - if the work has held up for so many years and a good shop can vouch for it, should there be any concerns?

Its a bitsa. bits of this and that. Why would anyone go to the expense of making a wide body from a narrow and colour changing it given selling it and buying a real C2S with varioram would cost only 1/2 as much more as conversion and paint? You gotta ask?

Personally, I find NB 993 converted to a WB just wrong. Its like coverting a WB to a NB---Why??
My first thoughts is there is more to this car than the story is telling.....but I could be wrong.
If you want a WB, buy a WB...not a knock off.

a 1995 cut up to be a wide body. The owner must not be all brains.
If it were a local car, with no other stories i would go 20k and enjoy it for a while..... maybe even gut it as a track toy.... cause thats where this car is headed with those replacement fenders.
