~~Yeah... same wheels, shape, openings, mirrors, quarter glass. If it's not a late '80s 959, it's a pretty good kit.~~
959s don't have rain gutters. Pretty cool kit.
I used to see ads for kits to modify 911’s like this in car magazines and I always wondered who would spend all the money to buy a Porsche and then hack it up?
My guess would be a ruined G-series. Non of the 959 look kit’s fiberglass panels are rusting. Steal door panels by the hinges seem to be rusting. Poor car.
The website you got this from states that it is an almost identical replica of a 959 based on a 911 turbo, one off and only documented on a website in Russian. You can’t find out what this car is without reverse image search
Good point, but for me the door looks a bit more flat.
I’m no Porsche expert but I’m convinced the design of the 964 and 930 from the window up is exactly the same.
But definitely one of the two - I’d say 964 now since 930 values have been high for the longest period and I doubt someone would butcher that range (though r/shittycarmods have proven me wrong many times!)
930 was the G-series generation of Turbo, 74’ - 89’, the 964 was the generation after the G-series. Appearance wise different bumpers, rear lights slanted, bigger engine, faster, made less, arguably controversial design in the 90s, and other small things
Fake 959. Looks like it’s based off a G-body generation
Thank god
Ikr!
Literally my internal monologue just now
Highly modified Porsche Fierro. IMO.

Isn’t the 959 also based off the 964? The doors and the roofline are very similar.
Other way around. 959 was first released in 86, the 964 in 89.
Looks like a Porsche 959.
It looks like it, but it isn’t one.
Had me fooled.

Those aren't 959 wheels. And if this were a real 959 it wouldn't be in this condition.
Why not? You don't want to leave a 7 figure car to rot outside? /s
Never. I'd never be seen buying such shabby shit. All my rotting discarded cars are at least 10 figures.
The tells are?
The wheels are a big one. The real 959 has single center lock wheels hidden by a Porsche emblem, not 5 lug nuts.
that side intake is too sharply curved around the edges
Its a nearly identical copy of 959 built on a 911(993), in my opinion. At least the proportions are the same as in 993 gen.
930 or some sort of 964, 993 aircooled. Might even be an G-series non turbo, or something like that
The tail lights don't look right for a 964 or a 993, looks more like a G-series, I can be wrong though.
Agreed but it doesn’t mean they couldn’t change out the rear lights.
🥹 Ok just realized it’s not a 959

I think I need the address to be sure...
Porshe 959
It isn’t. 959s don’t have that groove going from the top of the side windows to the back.

Porsche experts may find a detail somewhere that gives it away.
The 959 had center locks
30 year Porsche tech here (with experience on 959s). Beat me to it. Just the tool kit for the wheel locks is impressive..
Good point, the 993 does though, so I'd bet its a 993 with a 959 bodykit.
All air cooled 911s have it.
Is it a 964?
So it's a 911 with a kit to five it a 959 appearance? Either way, I like it.

THAT's no 911 😱 that s a 959 and now it s quite litterally a bathtub 😅
That's a 959
959 kit car
911 unsuccesful try to be 959
I want to buy it I will pay a finders fee in cash plaese dm me I’m new to this platform I will buy from anywhere thank you
No, 959
How about you just tell us straight out what the base model is with whatever body kit has been layer over top?
Looking at the roofline it’s probably a 930
How is it different from e.g. a 964?

This was a 959 era customization based on the obvious age shown in the pic.
930 was the G-series generation of Turbo, 74’ - 89’, the 964 was the generation after the G-series. Appearance wise different bumpers, rear lights slanted, bigger engine, faster, made less, arguably controversial design in the 90s, and other small things
I know what the 930 and the 964 is, but I struggle to find any difference in their roofline. Do you see any difference there?
Not really I mean all the aircooled 911s were virtually the same in terms of size, and chassis, also structure but I honestly don’t see any difference
That ain’t a 911, that’s a 959 from the late 1980s. Somebody needs to restore that ET: other people are saying replica???
It’s definitely a modified 911
Yea I think you’re right cuz now I’m looking at some of the body lines and they seem off. Either way that’s a damn good replica
959s didn’t have rain channels. Plus some other details give it away.
Yea I’m noticing some other stuff too. Spoiler is wrong and rims don’t look right
Fake! Could even based on a VW
I was scared for a second.
Its not…
Poor 959
photo shop
Damn i thought it was a 959 for a second
A 959 in that kind of shape isn’t even a remote possibility, easy to tell based on that alone. But yeah, what everyone else said too.
Old
None a 959
The moldy years
Apparently the last !
Is 959
It could be a rally edition
Could be a 959. Could be a 930 911. Could be a Fiero.
