There's an interesting and very mean looking Ruf CTR2 for sale on ebay. In view of this board's recent discussion of the EKS transmission, I thought it interesting that this car has one. Roland (who owns an absolutely gorgeous black/black CTR2) knows some of its history.

Sure wish I could get those seats. They might be Koenig 5000's.

Ebay sale of Ruf CTR2

wow that is a serious machine, any idea as to what it should bring ?

Roland said he recalls one going for about $250,000, if not north of that! Very few in No. America.

dr kenneth e garchow

wow again
will watch this one for sure to learn

i would have thought under $150K

John,

Thanks for head's up. I'll watch this one with keen interest.

This should go for a lot more (if it indeed gets sold) than the current bid of $85k. I'm sure this is a genuine RUF with RUF VIN, integrated roll cage and a whole bunch of goodies.

Sweet and mean at the same time. Absolutely awesome car.

Yup, I'm very impressed by the car. Roland is the real Ruf guru and gave me a lot of background info about these cars when I had major Ruf-itis not too long ago. Brand new from Ruf these CTR2's went for anywhere between $200-300,000, depending up the goodies added. Don't know if this one will get into that range though.

I saw this car (or one that looked exactly like it) at McKenna Porsche last summer. It is indeed very mean looking in person...if Darth Vader drove a Porsche this would be it. Salesman said it belonged to a friend of the owner of the dealership. I asked how much and he said that seller would probably look for $150-160K....I personally would have a hard time spending that much $$$ for a car that I could never park and leave alone in public.

dr kenneth e garchow

may i ask if the car is a wide body or narrow body?

and if manual gear box w/o clutch to push, how do you operate the clutch?

This auction ends in 45 minutes, and the price is stuck at $90k. I guess the typical eBay buyers do not appreciate RUFs like we do.

I would be interested to see if this gets sold? My hunch is that the reserve is north of $150k.
