One other thing I neglected to notice before--there's no state registration decal on the windshield...must not be registered then..who knows if it's even titled or insured, at that rate? hmmm

Here's a bit more info a friend found out about it:

He did give me the name of the shop that did the motor, The 911 Shop in Charlotte. Talked with Terry today, what a great guy. He, ummm, has a lot to say about the car. I can give you some details if you like, but his net/net is that “the car has been to hell and back” and has been very poorly cared for. He’s seen/worked on the car for 20 years or so. He confirmed that the rear flares are just SC flares and that it’s a “bondo pig.” The only good news is that the S bumper is a real steal bumper.

How much does he think it’s worth (Lenny at The 911 Shop)?
I asked him and he hemmed and hawed for some time without be able to give an answer. I didn’t press him, mostly because he hasn’t seen the car in a while. I imagine it’s in worse condition than the last time he saw it.

Confused about what he (owner) has:
He thinks it’s an S, he thinks the flares are not flares but factory quarters. I of course didn’t correct him or anything.

Some details I can remember:
Wastegate is broken but last owner kept driving it anyway
Turbo was installed some 20 years ago and is a BAE kit.
Car was left outside and not driven for many years by one owner
SC flares were put on by Coachworks (paint too), unfortunately they are not in business anymore
Had early brakes...very dangerous for such a fast car with the turbo
