Hey all i don't normally visit this section as I'm a 987S owner but i have recently come across an available 1991 Turbo with a RUF conversion done in Pfaffenhausen. The car is located here in Germany and on the 3rd owner (gathering reasons for selling as i type, possible spec/military conflicts).

My question/concern is what are these cars like in stock form as far as maint./reliability terms? Are there known issues or bugs that are starting to become common with these cars due to age/mileage, things to look out for?

Again i'm still getting details on this car from the seller but the advert discloses 450 hp, 6 spd trans and upgraded Brembos as part of the conversion.

Can any of you knowledgeable Ruf-aholics provide some insight and help with my interest in such an automobile? Oh and last time i came across a RUF it was the right car at the wrong time...and now CP owns it!@$&#@

(already posted topic in 964 Turbo section just to hit all the bases!)

Regads,
Harry T

DRG,

Welcome aboard. Thanks for doing the cut-and-paste, and adding your name to the registry. I gotta ask... why TWO 04 GT3s in your stable?

GT3's are gone, I only have the R-turbo now...I was a track rat for 3 years and have now scaled back and wanted a nice street car and not a dedicated only track car
