Thnaks for the info, guys, and please keep it coming. I think I'm trying to specifically find the Ruf Rennlisters, but all the Ruf data is interesting. Are all CTRs RUF Vin? Or were there some conversions?
|
As mentioned the Beddor's black CTR was a conversion as far as I know. Anyone have different?

Tetzflah,
I am 99% sure that the black car you speak of (SB's) old black car floating around the wholesale world started out as a 89 Carrera 4. They had 2 black and 2 white and possibly all have been converted in Pfaffenhuasen. I have pictures of my wife riding in that car. At one time it said "The Ultimate" on the back spoiler of it. The CTR2 Sports I speak of are of course different cars. Yes Tetzflah you are right, he is an old roomate of mine who I just saw last week. No one knows more about RUF cars than he does, period! MK |
