I can confirm that my conversion car is registered as a Porsche.

The only Ruf Vin car I know of in California is registered in Nevada, and I think it was due to the DMV not recognizing Ruf as a manufacturer. But then again, it could be for the reduced registration fees, or I could be totally wrong. Believe it or not, I've been wrong before.

We need pics (of the RUF), please, or it never happened.

I'm guessing Korva is doing the job?

Yes, I've been dealing with Boris and Vic for well over a decade ... I've found them to be top notch.

Will let you know when the car is done!

[QUOTE=mickfluff;9684575]to me these are the HOLY GRAIL of P cars, in the $ range I can possibly consider when it comes to considering the car I have always wanted...

+1

A couple pics at Pfaffenhausen back in 96yr. The car went from the Porsche factory to Alois factory The CTR 2 was released back in 96 and it played a big role as to how this Turbo-R was built.

I love reading about all the Turbo-R's history and builds.

Default RUF vs M6


I know an M6 are quite fast, but thought the RUF would have pulled maybe just a bit more, then again no clue when one sees a video as such what else is going on with the cars....sometimes nothing sometimes something.

Just a video is all, not sparking a debate on straight line racing etc...just a RUF vid vs a M6 I saw online...

That car looks pretty nice. How can you tell it started as a 4S? It makes little difference, after the conversion to Ruf Turbo R specs. I do NOT care for the side skirts... is that a Ruf piece? Gemballa?

Gemballa would be my guess, too.

Default RUF whiteTurbo R

Would anyone else happen to know the car on ebay, seller has only a 2 transaction history... but may not mean all that much.

Carfax does state was - Fleet/rental or lease at one time... hoping lease.

I have message into seller hoping to connect....

Any info anyone can share of 4s vs 993tt conversion (effect value?) please let me know. I have the standard list of questions to ask about paint work, accidents, conversion date, who did it, at what miles etc... but if anyone can share any other maybe less basic questions I should be asking I would be grateful for the help.... Thanks all...

car looks like what I am looking for, minus the flares of course....
