So I was cruising Ebay and came across this ad:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___Porsche-930-3-6-twinturbo-with-830hp-to-the-wheels_W0QQitemZ110286134638QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20Tru cksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110286134638& _trkparms=72%3A727%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318 &_trksid=p4506.c0.m245

Item Number: 110286134638

Looks like it was done nicely. Frankly, I'd love to see this car in person, and drive it. The ad states "This car started out as an original rust free930 turbo with only 15000 miles. About 10 years age the car was update to be a street or strip show car.It was striped down to the metal and redone. The car has a 3.6 custom built twin turbo engine that made 830 hp to the wheels ..."

I frankly can't understand why someone would convert a '79 930 that had so few miles on it (and being in show quality). To me that is a very significant year for the 930. A mint '79 930 would fetch much more than one that has been updated as this one has. Hey, to each his own. I bought mine heavily modified and I've continued to modify mine with performance enhancing modifications. But mine was already bastardized, the ad doesn't claim this for this car.

I'd love to do these mods to my car, but I think that I would have to spend about $30k at a minimum with used parts. Certaintly more than my car is worth.

So what do you guys think? Is this car for real? Why would someone convert a '79 930 into a '94 turbo S look-a-like when they could have done it with any other regular 911 or 964 of this time period?

I do think the pictures posted on there are pretty nice (although the door speakers cut-outs are in the RS door panels minus the speakers).
