While this is very cool, I wouldn't buy it. An 89 930 is a cool car, but not terribly rare, or expensive in grand terms. $150,000 would probably buy you any color you want.
If you spend $70,000 on this, spent another $100,000-150,000 getting it on the road, then found some backdoor to make it road legal, what would you have? A car worth about half what it would be normally, which is basically the starting point at the asking price.
The only way this car would be worth it would be to use it exactly as it was intended, to fix a mangled car. So if you had a very special late 80's 930, and wanted to save it correctly, this body would be the way to go. All above board, in fact I would probably send it to Stuttgart to have to work done, just to add to the provenance. But it better be a very special car.
Considering you can buy a 930 roller for about $20,000 normally, one without a VIN, no matter how much white primer you stare at, makes it hard to justify, which is probably why someone still has it, 30 years later.
