No idea who manufactured those pieces. The tail looks like a GT2 with C/F wing. Body looks like a 935 street version copy of DP or like. Front bumper ??
Not much help.

Yeah the tail is likely a Getty gt2 tail, also resold at a number of places.

The body kit is probably from better bodies, I am guessing simply because I don't recognize it as Getty or GT Racing or such. Better Bodies tends to have the more wild 'DP' variations on the widebody theme. Never seen the front bumper and assuming that also maybe came from better bodies.

Some observations from looking at the engine bay...it was not the best repaint in the world, so that does hurt the car's value to resellers. Just trying to be picky on your behalf. The Kokeln intercooler is a good aftermarket addition however.

If you give us more details about the car we can try to tell you more. I would not buy into a non-stock 930 like that without a engine compression test and a very careful inspection for possible accident damage, whether the owner admits to an accident or not, that can often be the reason for extensive bodywork and repaint. Of course, he may just have wanted the look...

The wheels are great and the stance of the car looks properly set up.

Yeah the main concern would be health of engine and tranny and if the car shows accident damage around front or rear bumper mounts (or anywhere else for that matter).

You would be buying a non-stock, repaint Porsche which is always great fun, but only the stock 930s can be expected to command full resale value. So there is always a little bit of a trade off, and the seller's price should reflect the fact that this is not a stock factory 930. The market for this car right now is limited and you definitely should hold the better end of the bargaining chip for yourself. In other words, proceed with caution and check it out carefully.

He's asking 35 obo for it plus I live in canada so I have to take shipping into consideration.What should compression reading be when checked on a stock healthy 930?

Turbo width front fenders, RSR width rear fenders, with might be custom boxed rockers.

Not a big fan. Price sees high unless a really high quality job with lots of mechanical goodies but opinions are cheap. I would not buy it without seeing it in person. Non sport seats seem out of place. Could be a decent build, could be a pice of...

prochargedboss · 10-23-2009, 05:22 PM

Thats why I thought I'd ask for your guys opinions I think I'll pay the extra for inspection as the last 930 I bought I split the cylinders in it within 3 weeks

Looks like DP935 rear flares and boxed rockers, front clip is difficult to say. Where is this car located? Seems like I've seen it somewhere before in the Midwest.

He told me fenders etc are steel and not fiberglass.What would ballpark price be on mods like this including kokeln turbo and intercooler

prochargedboss · 10-24-2009, 07:59 AM

where are you finding these pics?

slow&rusty · 10-24-2009, 08:02 AM

I cringe when I see that car....I think you might be better off looking for one that looks genuinely well maintained.

I really do not like the look of the super wide fenders and that front bumper \ spoiler look like a swollen lip on a boxer.

Someone has spent some money on it over the years..as it has custom Fikse wheels and a Kokeln intercooler. I can't stand that yellow either....what is hiding under it...

For $35K you are right in the market for some sweet machines...importing a US car into Canada is easy. My best friend has done it a few times (no issues) and he lives in Toronto (I live in Houston).

BTW...$35K get you ( a small sample anyway):
1) $31K or best offer 400whp:

2) $28K intriguing if you want something "different"..and its a genuine turbo car:

3) Over 400whp heavily modified in NY as well..$25K

where are those cars listed I really want a high hp monster.I know importing is no problem as I bought my race car from new mexico and brought it into canada.

right click those last 3 images and click properties at the bottom of the drop down menu.
that will tell you the web address of the server those pics are linked from.
copy and paste it into your browser, then go from there...

GT2 Evo doors with a chop top and deep rake on the windshield, RSR rear quarters with the Gemballa treatment with decent styled intakes in lieu of the god awful strakes.

Strosek or Gemballa front fenders with the stationary headlights - hard to find items that will cost you an arm and a leg and won't really be all that worth it.

A kit like that for purchse doesn't really exist in kit form - at least not from my research. If you want something like that you'll have to take it to a high end body shop that knows Porsches well and show them a pic and tell them to create it.

Personally I think its a bit on the ugly side except with the chop top, I kinda like that part.
