Anyway, the car IS an '86 930 with less than 10k on the clock. (worth saving?)

OR, considering the seller sez:
"Have all original factory molds from Rinspeed for all fiberglass body panels"

You could buy it and make MORE!

Seriously, tho' the button-madness is kind of cool, from an automotive history perspective. (look at the interiors now)

sawzall will make quick work of that bodykit. New fenders, doors, rear quarters- and a different interior it would be fixed...

Priced at $20K higher in 2011. All 911s except for this one have increased in value since then.

I'm thinking heat-gun (not sawzall) would get that -what must be a veneer of- fiberglass off (at least the back.) New front wings...

OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised if that kit gives the car a lower Cd.

hideous monsters -
Although I'm curious why Rinspeed did without the big wings. Ugh, recall the Gemballs Assalanche

I wonder if those sidescoops whistle at speed or create drag? Probably lose a few MPG at 80MPH with those big ol holes.

You guys are pretty harsh.

I suspect it will find a buyer. After all, it is a red Porsche and it looks different.
It's not really to my taste either, but someone out there will be thrilled to get their hands on it.
