Made by Porsche in 1985 as a tribute. These are worth some decent coin, last one sold at Sotheby's for $10k. They only made 100, 1 is in the Porsche Museum.

So the motor is actually a "Briggs UND Stratton"?

I found this which may or may not be true:

Los Angeles Dismantler for Porsche 911, Boxster & Cayman

That thing is screaming for a hyabusa motor.

They were made by an outfit in Poland. FAO Scwharz (sp?) had them on display for sale as well. The Jules version was the most detailed.
That company also made a jag xke roadster and mbz sl with the same drive train. But the 936 was the best of the lot with even a Porsche key!

Drop that body over a shifter kart, seal the floor, and take it to an autocross.

Yeah, Erik McKenna right?

We used to sell them at Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories back in the 80s. The Porsche was 6900 bucks, the Mercedes SL was 5900 and the Jag XKE and Ferrari were 10 to 12.
