Well at least it tries to look like a race car.

If it was made from a 993 Turbo with performance enhancements would we scoff at it then?

No and if it was "done right" with a Manual Transmission! Looks like a dog got to the interior!

The plate (KSA - Saudi) leads one to believe mideast car at one time, could explain the interior

Big hit at Cars and Coffee (and sand)

Under 20K for an air-cooled 993 parts car - LA Dismantlers should take a look...

The exterior doesn't look that bad but, with one look at the interior it will have you running for your life...

What were they thinking when they built this?

Amazing that many of the older crew chimed in on this one! What does "Tribute" really mean? It used to mean that the car was influenced by something else. Now I see it used on junk that is being paraded as gold. This for instance is a great example. I've also seen late 70's 911's with fiberglassed 1/4's and chopped off slant noses being referred to as being built as tributes to the Urban Outlaw. Interesting, I guess we should thank Elenor for starting such fcuked up trends...
