Looks like someone left it out in the sun and it started to melt.

It's a 6 cylinder, too!

Anyway, it looks like what I remember the 944 Gemballa body kit to look like.

gemballa, eh?? never heard or seen it until now. it looks much better in that photo above. thanks guys for enlightening my curiosity. ^_^.


EDIT: is it rare or valuable or anything ??

JohnKoaWood

Rarity doesn't always impart value, in this instance I personally would say while rare it is that way for a reason... there is a reason everyone wants a splitter on their 951, it looks good and is functional, the gemballa lower valance appears to do less for the aero effect than style.. and it ain't got much style either... especialy when it looks to be broken.... but it IS interesting to look at... in an elephant man kind of way...

It's Gemballa for sure, and it's quite rare. I know here in Finland four 944's with similar kit, three reds and one white. Uwe Gemballa is not my favourite Porsche tuner, even his recent "works" look odd.That red one does not have the sideskirts which belongs to the kit

After reading the thread I remembered I have the origional brochure with prices in German DM.







It looks far nicer on the 951

+1! Great pics and info

Never seen this kit before, its very interesting

RedRose

If by interesting, you mean very, very strange, then you, sir, are correct!

I like those wheels in the bottom pic!

good point john, i just assumed rarity=big bucks. like a euro style N/A bumper. i cant find any of those anywhere, and when i did, it sold for like 600+ on evilbay. and Gemballa sounds like it cost a pretty penny >_>


and thanks steve !! those are good pictures; it looks waaaaay better on the turbos.

That's the rarely seen "Salvadore Dali Edition"!

What an abortion!
