You're probably right but as with any small company like RUF anything is possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were sold as Ruf "replicas" as well...for the "average" 964.

Seriously what's up with this Green Ruf...
If i was paying over 1000,000 Euro I would want to know what year it was.

From the add... Year: 1985 / 1988 ????

sc_rufctr · 01-05-2010, 04:24 AM

Could that mean it was built by Porsche in 85 but converted to a CTR in 88?

That would be my guess. I think for the newer cars he/they can get body shells from Porsche, but in the earlier days I think he/they had to start with complete original cars. (??)

Quarter Mile: 11.7 sec @ 214 km/h

They may be Speedline but they don't look right.

They real allright, I just have never seen them on a car, not that I can remember anyway...
They're 17", 8" and 9" wide.

That green car rocks, very fine ride, I like it a lot.

How much it the green car in dollars?

Is it saying it has a 6 speed trans?

On another thread it seems a Turbo front flair looks like it can go on the rear and allow for a 10" wheel like the original YB.

They started to get bodies from Porsche in the very late 80's/early 90's after TUV Certification as a manufacturer as opposed to a tuner.

New dash was introduced as far as i know in 91 when the new 964 turbo (965) came out

Something is strange regarding the year of this car.. as Peter is correct.

That is an earlier dash as used in the 911 through 85. 86 > had the larger center & end vents which carried over to the 964 etc...

I like the steering wheel,but the fabric on the seat's --- not so much....

I would love to have a Ctr, but isn't $200k usd crazy money? One could build a better car for much much less. I guess $150k of the cost is for the Ruf nameplate.

I guess you can build a better car for less, but an original RUF would have a better aftersales market price
A more collectors item I would guess

As much as I would like to have a real RUF, would the $200K Ruf necessarily increase in value? Especially if I like to drive it, as opposed to letting it sit in my garage so I can sneak out after dinner with a glass of wine to stare at it?

I suppose a $200K Ruf collectable that loses some value, say $$20K, is probably not as bad for the collector...just the same, a $50K replica that is "better" selling for $30K is probably....acceptable. Especially if the replica owner enjoys the replica and drives it as much as he/she can.

I'm not for nor against replicas or real, but I think one should enjoy the fruits of one's hard labor/earned money. If you want a collectable buy art. By a car to drive it.

On a technical level: The original CTR really can be easily superceded these days with a well built turbocharged 3.3 or 3.4 using a 3.2 Motronic engine as a starting point mated to a G50. Suspension parts are easy...go coilover if you want to. Body work? no problem....

Some people don't get that

A DIY guy can equal the performance for under $50k including to purchase of a clean low milage G50 911 core.

The VIN number in the add is listed as a Porsche VIN. So it would be safe to assume that this is a Porsche factory car that was converted by RUF to become a CTR.

Makes me want to convert mine.....

I know RUF had some vets in the upper flare to get cooling for the intercoolers.
How does this CTR get sufficient airflow through the intercoolers for optimal cooling?
