1984 M491 Turbo Look Rubystone Red
https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/1012714-1984-porsche-carrera-m491-turbo-look-rubystone-red.html
 I love it. I wonder if i could find somewhere to hide it. I'd love to see it wearing fuchs and the IB's. It's a very cool picture, stance is like Goldilocks porridge.

This car definitely has issues that point to the need for a complete investigation. Color change (incomplete w/ Orange peel), Bumper change (Fit), drive train change..... exported... imported..... lots to check..... big plus its a M491..... oh better check that too......

I had a forensic team come out Macroni, they've completed a thorough investigation. Found that the car is exactly as stated and is a real m491. You can sleep again at night.
I have the original Fuchs for it, if you want those instead ;-) |

That car just needs "Mary K" logos on the doors to complete it (or maybe "My Little Pony" logos)!

Looks like a fun car if hookers and blow are your thing.

Love the color..... but it is a repaint so I would want a close examination..... I would probably pull it apart and complete the color change properly..... Motor would be upgraded also considering there is no value as everything is a mis-match... This car needs to become a proper 3.8RS hotrod.....

Dont know if its my MAWG perception but taking pics of the car at what looks like a mobile home park seems like a strange choice to me. Still think it could be a very good start, its value is no longer primarily as a factory M491. It need to come from where it ends up as a very unique hotrod built out of a factory M491. In its current state i think mid high 40's is fair.
