I am potentially buying a 1986 RUF 911. I'm not 100% sure if the car is legitimately a RUF model. Does anyone know how to tell? Also, can someone also give me an estimated value on this car is fair condition? Thanks everyone, I will really appreciate any feedback.

Nothing about that looks like a Ruf. I also doubt anyone is stupid enough to treat a Ruf like that. But, what do I know-I'm no expert?

Call Ruf, they assign their own VINs.

Wrong wheels,wrong steering wheel ... dunno about that car,looks like a regular 13 to 18K 1986 Coupe !

Cheers !

Only the badge is RUF, nothing else.

is that car even a turbo?

theiceman

as stated its a Carrera not a turbo.

I may be wrong, but I don't think so. No Ruff car carried both the Carrera and Ruff badges. Also, Ruff cars had Ruff gauges. If I were you, I'd run away very fast.

I would call that "rough" not Ruf.

Is that speedo correct for an 86? Mine does not have the circle below the numbers.

I believe that 86's should have the white circle on the speedo. The circle was not on '87 and later cars.

I think thats incorrect or perhaps not all 86's had the circle.

That's weird, my late '86 has the circle.

My '86 doesnt gve the circle....

Hard to imagine someone trying to play that off as a Ruf!!! Offer him 13k and see what he says lol.

Reiver

make an offer after a leak down and proper PPI...might just be the pics but that car looks ruff and might not have had the care that equates to longevity.

Therein lies the question: does the OP think it's a Ruf, 'cuz it has a badge, or is the owner trying to pass it off as one?

$13k is too high for this particular car.
