I looks just like a 924S with a newer 944 interior, but I translated the text to English and it said it was a factory prototype and they have the documents to prove it. Gear selector bottom piece is different.

Its weird that a factory prototype would be an automatic... But that is still pretty cool.

Think the shaved side markers are original?

Someone on here (Marquito?) put a later dash in an early car... It would be a bit or work to do the door panels, window switches and everything, but not too hard.

Euros didnt have the side markers, all 944/924/951s are like this. Instead they have the smaller turn signal lens located downward on the fender.

There's a guy on 924board.org who has swapped a few late dashes in his 924 cars. They're all track cars, though. If this is original, that's kind of cool.

I think it's fake. I think if Porsche did make a 924S with a late interior, it would have been a 5-speed.

Is that the only reason why you think it's fake?

I wish they had some pictures under the bonnet.

There was an 951 prototype for sale in Estonia couple years ago.

You can tell if it is original by checking former owners. If first owner is Porsche factory (or holding company) and it has been 1-st owner for several years, then it can be geniuine.

Also you can ask for VIN and check from Porsche.
