Ima2nr, did I see your car in the paddock at the Monterey historics last month? There was a black 993tt, same wheels, yellow brakes and IC shroud, and a center exhaust just like the one in your pics, parked near turns 3-4, in the vicinity of most of the 935s. Also had an out-of-state plate but I don't remember which state . . . can't find the pic I took of it right now.

I wonder if RufMD is still on this board. I think he had a Ruf Turbo -R conversion done by Jeol here in the States.

I see him over at 6speed once in a while.

I just bought my RUF a few days ago... it was a toss up between the new Kia Sportage 'R' euro version or this... i hope I made the right choice.

seriously, the P/O was from Indiana-- he was a serious vintage racer... in his garage he had a real 917 that was a Porsche factory team car, a Mclaren that won 3 races in the 1971 Can Am series, and a partial disassymbled ford GT40 (it was getting a fresh powerplant)... I would say this guy probably was flexing the RUF around the track too...

I took some "cell phone" pictures, but have no idea how to download / upload them...

 

RufMD sold his Rturbo a couple of months ago.........

 

Thanks for the update. Do you have it? If not, do you know who bought it?

Thanks.

CP

 

Here are the pix that Kevin took at his PO place of the 917, Mclaren and the GT40..

 

Ima2nr, are you the second owner of the RUF?

The PO's collection is amazing to say the least!!

Leon,

OMG. What an awesome car and GREAT photographs. Makes me think that we need a Ruf Calendar.

How about you R Turbo guys? Do you guys own a camera?

 

Leon - more pics please

 

and a few more...for good measure

p.s thanks steve

 

Scott,
Fer gawds sake, at least slap a couple of Ruf badges on that 3.8L FVD sled so I can still talk to you.

Leon,
Please stop posting pictures... my johnson is shrinking with each one.
