Default 993 with 964 front end?

Has anyone ever seen such a thing? maybe sacrilege in this group. I figure it could be the best air cooled platform with arguably a more "Porsche" looking front end.

I feel a little sorry for that strange-looking creature.

Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the ad, but my eyes were temporarily blinded by the photos. What did this car even start out as? A 964? A 993? Something older with a 3.6L engine swap?

Says it's a '90.

Funny, but know what the rage was for IMSA in the late '90s? Throwing 993 bodywork on a 964 RSR so you could still compete. Acquaintance had one so upgraded, and I think I could have bought it when it retired from pro race duty for sub-$50K.

It's not a matter of it being "sacrilege," it's a matter of it being hideously ugly. The 356 Speedster and the 993 are both beautiful designs, but if you mated the front end of the 356 to the back of a 993 (or vice versa) you'd have something terrible on your hands. How is this not obvious?

Could be worse... A shop calling themselves "MMM Designs" put together a backdated 996 with a 993 rear and, gasp, a 911 SC front! Pictures are starting to pop up on Instagram lately...ugh

the stinger/singer porsche that David A posted the link to has been floating around florida for a few months. It was on ebay then craigslist. Someone was trying to sell it for around $20K give or take $5K. Can't believe current seller slapped on side decals and jacked the price up to $95K. lol

Whoa! One would think the decals woulda sealed the deal at $95k on the POS; as so eloquently coined by Quad!
