But underneath it all, you'd have a '77 Targa. The Turbo drivetrain should be matched with improved suspension and brakes. The fact that there are 'late offset' wheels on the car usually means up to 3.5" spacers in the rear, and 2-2.5" in front. That's sacrificing engineering integrity for cosmetics, if true.

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $18K for it unless the car gets a rave review by a knowledgeable Porsche mechanic.
Can you expand a bit on the "late offset wheels" does this mean that it does not in fact have the Turbo suspension it was represented as having? Here's another shot that shows the rear wheel and rotor - looks to have pretty good spacers in there.
