Nice...

Two problems for me:

1) I would need to add 100k+ to the acquisition cost for wife's jewelry and couture clothing collection...maintains "don't ask don't tell" status and preserves martial bliss

2) I would drive this car and add miles...probably ill advised at that price point

two problems for me...
1) yellow doesn't do it for me - still looks like a taxi
2) not fond of skinny a$$ed 911s
3) $279 k (oops and I can't count)

[speednme1]

Imo one can probably have RUF build one for less if one supplies the donor car...i still like it though..

[oilonly]

You have a PM.

[jcc911]

"You have pm". LOL!

"Aerodynamic headlight lens covers."

But the Yellowbird has the wider rear flares to accomodate 17X10 RUF Speedlines, no?

What's the Ruf Vin # ?

[spence88mph]

My dream garage would contain all 6 of these.

I still don't understand how those intercoolers (or by reports don't) work, they must be in cut-outs through the engine bay. They have been said to not work well but they can't be that bad with the figures it has laid down.

With the whale tale back there, it creates a high pressure zone and a tonne of air gets sucked in and around the engine bay to dramatically improve downforce and coooling at speed.

Must have been suitable enough for RUF to locate the intercoolers there to support those boost levels at that Comp Ratio.

The NACA ducts were pretty useless apparently though. Didnt suck air in, but pushed air out

From what I understand, there is no Ruf Vin # on the car, there is a Porsche Vin #.

I love this car.

Study it well, this overall vehicle system approach to performance was demonstrated close to 25 years ago and it didn't need an over-boosted 1000HP mega$ engine to do it.

Here is the VIN from the ad.

Built on a new 1989 911 Carrera chassis #9559 VIN# 9111111097

Then the VIN should be the 17 digit type.

Prior to the construction of this CTR, the owner purchased a '71 T Targa out of the South FL area and shipped it to Ruf. Since Ruf is recognized as a manufacturer, Ruf has the ability to rebody a car and transfer the VIN from old shell to new.

This was done to be able to "re-import" the car to the states and avoid any DOT or EPA issues.

The only thing that the donor car gave up was its VIN and paper. This car was absolutely, positively a NEW Ruf build from the '89 shell outward...

and thus, can be registered in all 50 states I believe !

And thus the brilliance of what LF did back when the car was new... I laughed when I read that Excellence article not long ago about "The only CTR in North America". LF's has been here since '90ish , travelling back and forth to Europe (I think a few times), enjoying the racetracks of the Southeast, and a little road work... While not being scrutinized by anyone because of its identity of a lowly little 911T.

As far as the 50 states... CA might be a challenge smogwise, but everywhere else it's good to go.
