Anyone know this 85 911 in Fresno, CA?

1985 Porsche 911 Factory Turbo Look RARE

I'd like to get more information before making the trip down there to see the car in person. I would really appreciate it if someone here in Fresno area could take a look at the car for me before I schedule for a PPI. I really don't want to waste the money on PPI if the car is not what it seems.

Thank you and merry Christmas

According to the smog check database, it had 4 smog checks in the south bay area from 2000 to 2006 .... passed them all. The last recorded check was October 2006, so it's been 3 years.. Fresno must be an exempt area?

contact x98boardwell....he's a 930 afficianado in Fresno....but looks like you've already gotten some feedback from someone that knows the car. Ask the seller about the allegations that it's twisted.

Thanks everyone who responded. Anyway, I'm still looking for the right 85+ coupe with 491. Please let me know if you see one up for sale around Bay area.

Thanks again
