Ruf on Ebay-any info?

[dugsud]

Anyone know the history of this Ruf on Ebay?

Seems too cheap!!

On the assumption that it's the same car....when I went and looked at it ( in early summer ) the only Ruf parts were the wheels....and all the paperwork supporting the Ruf connection was mysteriously unavailable, despite the trader telling me 24 hours beforehand that he had everything to hand!
Check back in the Turbo Register section of PP.
Caveat emptor.

A Ruf as a Cat C insurance loss (loss beyond economical repairs) must have indeed gone through a really 'rough' time.

HI BUDDY,
THE CAR IS A REAL DOG! IT WAS AT TRADE CARS OF GAINSBOROGH.
MARK "DODGE" AS HE IS KNOWN IN THE TRADE, BOUGHT THE CAR AS A NONE RUNNER! HE CLAIMS THAT THE CAR HAS 500+BHP BUT AT A GLANCE, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS NEVER GOING TO MAKE THAT BHP COS ITS RUNNING STANDARD K-JET INJECTION.
WHEN I HAD A GOOD LOOK AT THE CAR I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE TURBO WAS A STANDARD K-26 UNIT NOT THE RUF K-27/11 THAT YOU WOULD FIND ON A 3.4LTR RUF CONVERSION! OOPS! DID I SAY 3.4LTR?????? THIS CAR IS ON A STOCK 3.3LTR LUMP! YES THER ARE RUF BITS ON THE CAR BUT AS SAID BEFOR IT'S MORE ROUGH THAN RUF. HOPE THIS HELP.
P.S. 500BHP, THINK THERE IS ONLY 2 GEN 930'S IN UK WITH THAT POWER

As a write off with an unclear past and in need of further work - not in my opinion.
