It says body in white. Completely different.
What would bother me is the word 'rebuilt' in there.

For that kind of coin, car should be factory original, sounds like the car started as something else.

I'm not a buyer so I won't be delving into the story with the seller, but it looks to me as an original GT2 sent to RUF at one year old for the 590HP engine upgrade. I'm sure RUF would only do this to a fresh engine, hence the rebuild. They show in the RUF letter that they painted the car, if I read it correctly. The same letter states that they RUF'd a GT2 car, not a clone. Easy to verify with the vin. Not an original RUF from new, but pretty rare none the less. I'd like it for a weekend.

Why is a repainted car so cold on the market? Repaint can be done because the owner wants to?

Because no one could ever paint the car as well as the factory did.

Generally speaking, "body in white" is a technical term denoting the stage of completion in a cars manufacture, not the color. It's basically a bare shell.

The Ruf cars all start as body-in-white because Porsche manufactures the shells and send them over to be completed with Ruf components.

Being as I'm about 10 minutes from that dealer... I really should just visit and hang out there periodically.

I wouldn't buy a lawnmower from Chicago Motorcars. Caveat Emptor.
