Post Wildest 911 turbo ever

Check out this Gemballa Porsche on e Bay. I wonder if this car was even attractive when they finised it!!! Gotta wonder why someone would spend 250,000 to build the car.

I am not even going to click on the link and I know exactly what car CAPTLST is talking about. If I am right, it says Avalanche along the back wing and it is white.

Here are a few other interesting examples of wild Porsches (the first is actual not bad):

C'mon...am I the only one that remembers this was the hottest thing going....in 1986. Of course I was 14 at the time. I think a similar one was on the cover of Car and Driver or R&T....

I do remember seeing those cars and in fact saw a MTV show about Vanilla Ice and it did show his white Avalance.

You guys are correct Vanilla Ice did have a car like this but it was done much more tastefully. I sat in the car a few years ago (10 years) at Prestige Imports in Miami. Vanilla Ice had BBS RS wheels which in my opinion looked much better.

Doug,

In reference to Don from Cape Cod, I thought when you do too many mods, you start to look like Michael Jackson.

It's in the center of a 200 page book named "Sport cars" or something similar that I have.

I dig the camera rear view mirrors, now that's one unnecessary feature.

Put a bell and some stickers on it and you could sell yourself a lot of ice cream!
