Looks like an early 80's BTR to me. The narrow body stuff really only came into its own with the CTR Yellowbird. Before that Ruf took any 911 and modified it, Turbo or not. But the BTR was a modified Turbo with 374 hp from 3.4 98mm conversion, bigger turbo and intercooler, as well as an increase in boost, Ruf 5-speed, 4-pipe muffler, assorted suspension and interior bits, BTR front airdam, etc. The normal mirrors were flag mirrors on BTR's and I believe the cars came with the extended rockers(every picture of a BTR I have ever seen had them). But don't forget that Ruf would do anything you paid him to do. Your bankbook was the limit. And there were probably a lot more conversions done by Ruf, than original manufactured cars. So even the VIN would not be an accurate gauge. Original documentation from Ruf would be the only way to know for sure.
