The picture of the dash is from a Porsche 930 Turbo cab, not a 993!

six gun,
Please tell the audience what prizes are in store for John's winning answer

Now, I wonder what the actual mileage is, if the dash photo is not of the car for sale?

FULLY RESTORED! BARRETT JACKSON CONDITION
From what condition, and why would the car need a full restoration?

I sent the seller a note inquiring about the dashboard. I'll post their reply.

Look at the seller's other listings, you'll see the listing for the 930. The dash pictures were swapped between those two listings.

This should be the correct pic.

I tried that yesterday, I got a e mail back thanking me for my intrest but no explanation for the boost gauge. Also my question never got listed at the bottom of the ebay ad.

A mix up between the two postings is a reasonable and understandable mistake.

The car you are being asked to bid on shows 31K miles, if you are correct about the mix up, the C 4 S has ????? miles?

Mix up maybe, but neither one of us have received an answer to our inquiries, me yesterday and you today.

the real dash pic is tough to read - 4 of the digits look like '8's, but that can't be right. maybe 89k miles? but then the price would be too high at $90k. sport seats will add a solid $5k to the price. mix up on the pics is no big deal, but listing the mileage incorrect on the auction (per the wrong pic) is not good. it will get relisted with the correct mileage more than likely.

Has anyone run the VIN on Carfax to see what info there may be on mileage etc.?

I don't understand what "Barrett Jackson condition" means, especially in upper case letters. Barrett Jackson has no standards that I'm aware of, and auctions cars in many conditions.
