      I can attest to “a line or two” doing exactly this.

      This thing is a snow dive at The Mutiny and a trip to some random roadside mechanic with subsequent spending of your life savings. Then you wake up 7 days later in some cheap motel with this thing out front

    This is NOT a questionable purchase. I'd be all over this if I had more funds to do more dumb stuff with.
    Edit: I hope with all my might this ends up just how it looked in the one lap pictures when you guys run it in cannonball. Or at least drive it. Awesome.

  • @delorean8526

    Daaaem dude, that's awesome for you specifically. Good luck. I hope it is as good or better than the 'tas ma hall' 356 limousine. If there's anyone who could do it right... you are one of the few. When it's done I'd fly there just to go out to strip clubs in it.
    I would suggest a turbo V8 from a 955 or 957.
    Also, when are you going to supercharge one of your 928's?
    Seriously, good luck!

    I have an old Porsche magazine somewhere where this guy turned his 90 iirc 911C4 into a 959 speedster. I say that to say this.. the speedster 959 was gorgous. If.. the top of the limo is trash, perhaps it too could become a 959 speedster limo. 😎 btw i love this crazy 959 limo idea!
