Can You Believe That Someone Did This To A 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo?

Just because you can modify a Porsche, doesn’t mean you should, especially if it’s a historic model like the 930 aka the 1975 – 1989 911 Turbo.

That’s a lesson we presume that the owner of this butchered car learned after looking at the prices commanded by stock 930s these days, as most examples are hovering around the $100,000 mark. The cheapest one we found was a crashed 1987 Porsche 930 in need of restoration at $55,000.

The only thing we don’t know is if this car that started life as a 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible, had been crashed beyond recognition before going under plastic surgery to loosely mimic the looks of another historic Porsche, Kremer Racing’s 935 K3 racer from 1979. If it was clean, then the person responsible shouldn’t be allowed to touch any car again….

As you can see for yourself when comparing it to an original Porsche Kremer 935 K3 coupe, the transformation leaves a lot to be desired – and not only because it’s a convertible with the tuner having replaced the stock windshield with one from a 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster.

The eBay seller of the replica says it comes with all sorts of go-fast parts from the 935, including a 500hp 3.3-liter turbo six with only a little over 14,000 miles (around 22,500 km), 17-inch BBS wheels in 275/40 rubber front and 335/35 rear, front brakes from a 930 and rear from a 928, original widebody 935 rear fenders and a custom made rear wing.

“This turbo Porsche for sale has run computer simulators and has been projected to run up to 240 MPH!” claims the seller, without explaining what those ‘simulations’ were .“This car is fun to drive and not for the faint of heart. Though it is tame enough to run as a grocery getter, it also contains the power to run with most any other supercar on the market!”

And how much are they asking for this 935 K3-wannabe? The eBay listing is at $55,000 or “Make Offer”. What would you pay for it?
