Anybody familiar with this car?

Sloan listed on Excellence too as they usually do, but I hadn't seen any posts about it here or over on Pelican. Just curious if anyone knew the car or even the thoughts from 993 BTR owners out there.

Lee,

I'm not familiar with that car, but it is a FULLY loaded BTR-2, and quite rare. Two important questions for the seller... when was the conversion done (date and mileage) and is the VIN Ruf or Porsche. Good Luck.

I remember that this car was for sale at Body Motion a while ago for a similar price.

I prefer Pong's!

No Ruf vin.

Pretty extensive conversion to even include the integrated roll bar. Nice!

Porsche VIN not RUF, though the car was sent back to Germany and the conversion done at RUF in Pfaffenhausen roughly 8yrs ago.

Yes Body Motion said they had it on consignment in 2011 for slightly less asking price but never sold.

Also something like 50k+ on donor car, <20k miles since conversion. Anything else to look out for on these RUFs? I've not owned but have driven 993s.

Love the IRC, super rare and expensive!!

Means the value is much less, its not a white-body manufactured car, but a conversion.

Have you ever driven a BTR? They have a rather heavy clutch (unlike a turbo conversion)... some people like that, some don't. Be sure you get a PPI performed. Also, if the car does does not have a certificate of authenticity signed by Estonia or Alois, then start communication with Claudia Muller at Ruf to be sure you can get one for the car. They will need the VIN number.

Speaking of VIN, A RUF VIN adds cachet which adds $$$. I'm not even sure there were any Ruf VIN BTRs built. My Turbo R is a conversion with a Porsche VIN. All great cars.

I thought RUF offered conversions on 993s with single turbos before the 993 turbos came out. This is that option. I believe Pong who is fairly active on this board here has the same car.

This is no doubt different than a RUF turbo but still a true RUF regardless.

Have ridden but not driven yet. My 1977 930 has a pretty heavy clutch, esp relative to my Boxster S, so I imagine it's something I'd be comfortable with. But obviously the test is actually getting behind the wheel.

How much is it worth? (the answer - as much as someone is willing to pay)...but how much do you RUF experts think?
