An Interesting 930 / 959..Local To Me..Pics
Interesting hodge podge of wanting to be a 959 and obviously someone spent alot of $$$ on this car at some time judging from the ICE, Interior mods and of course the body conversion. I am not sure what the engine mods are but certainly intriguing, I would like to see the placement of the intercooler and what type of IC as well for example. I have never been a fan of these 959 conversions due to so many that look awful at least this one "looks" decent, according to the Victory ad the owner spent $80K on this car..yikes.
The car has been for sale for ages and is local to me here in Houston at Victory.        Yasin

I've certainly seen worse but I'm not sure I would pay a premium for it.
Isn't CMW the group that built the billet cylinder heads that TurboKraft had issues with on Tom's monster? |

Not as clean as the 959 replica built on a 993 C4, but this still looks better than 90% of the replicas out there.
Single turbo, single side mounted intercooler with CIS. Yes, CMW builds (built?) those horrific billet cylinder heads.

They've had this for a while now. Stopped by last summer, during one of my way too many trips to Houston, and the car was there. I didn't really look at it closely - just a couple of cursory glances while I was looking at cars I was more serious about. What stuck out immediately was the yellowing headlights. Do these folks not watch late-night TV? There's some magic stuff out that'll make those headlights look like new. But wait, there's more!

No worse than a slant conversion IMO.

I recall the owner dropped it to 19K for about a week or so on CL before Victory came into the picture....
