Man....when I was a kid THAT is what a Porsche was!

 

Meh, too many wheels

 

My eyes are watering for sure. For being reminded that I am poor.

 

Looks just like any other Beetle...

 

It's NA? No FI in the specs.

470 HP from 3.4L? No blower? Awesome 4WD car!

 

It's FI and FI.

 

Fuel Injected and Forced Induction then? Nice car.
Will it go for millions?

 

There’s an amazing video of a dude caning one on the Nordschleife.

if you search “option auto ruf yellowbird” on YT it should pull up.

 

My good friend has quite a few Porsches.
Many are very fast.
One is Fastest car I’ve ever been in Shes a last year 993 air cooled Turbo w modified twin Turbos , heads, pistions etc motor build alone was over 40k. She lays down about 520-570 (depending upon outside air temp...)
Dear Lord she’s fast! I’ve seen 170 mph in her.. a 993 still feels like a tin can... there the last of the old school Porsches.
Then he has his hot rod it’s a built aircooled 930 turbo, NO where as fast as the Twin Turbo, nor as refined but at close to 400 h.p. And light weight feels brutal.... definitely a total hooligan car... I don’t like that car... nor riding in it.. it’s a death trap , too squirrely ,the 993 is Far Far more stable
He has a host of 914 conversions too w 911 6 cyl motor swaps w anywhere from 175 h.p to well over 350 one a full tube chassis race car with a high rev 3.6 and G50 tranny it had slicks that are two feet wide.. it’s pretty awesome.
Unless they have a modern G50 or triptronic tranny swap, there all a bitch to shift.. but there all fun as fuck and put a huge smile on yer face

 

No forced induction.

I haven't been following values so have no idea... guessing over a million, though. My 993 hasn't really gone up in value too much in the 18 years I've owned it, but I'm sure it will some day.

 

"Yellow Bird" is narrowbody and rear-wheel drive. And yellow.

I would love to have one of the 9FF modded GT3s, those guys build some monsters.

 

Semi OT, but Porsche related, 550 barn find: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/find-century-rare-1955-porsche-550-spyder-found-shipping-container

 

That's AMAZING!

 

Quasi fake news. Not really a barn find. Everyone that knew the owner, knew he had it. It wasn't stored for as long as said, based on the license plate tabs. And that car is a lot cleaner than something stored for that long would be. More like a story to generate interest in the upcoming auction that will likely be happening.

 

Definitely forced induction.
No way that was a n/a 200+ mph car.

 

You're right... I deleted that and it somehow made it into my comment. Twin turbo.

 

Pfft, it won't go for that much. They made two.
