What you see is what you will be getting . If you have any questions please contact me at
Cool but 10 to 15k without engine and transmission costs. And that's for basic stuff

Agreed but given the garbage "parts" cars I've seen this would seem workable to a Porschephile with spares hanging around. Make it "track resto" and come up with info on provenance and it would be worth big bucks...
This is why God made Targas. They are the O-Negative of the Porsche world.
c'mon, no one's said it? LS!!!!
Interesting car! The thing that surprises me is the small spreaders and the cage being bolted in. With a series like IMSA I guess there are a lot of classes. I couldn't find anything on this specific car, but I didn't spend a lot of time looking.

I assume it's IMSA heritage is questionable until proven truthful. Still potentially an awesome beast...

GTP-2 is a PCA club racing class:
Classes GTP-1 through GTP-6, GTP-A
All Porsche factory approved prototype race cars and cars with log books issued prior to 1999 that do not strictly adhere to the provisions of this rule book and pre-996 911 chassis with water-cooled normally aspirated 911 factory race or GT3 engines. GTP Porsches will be classed according to engine displacement as listed in the table below. "Porsche factory approved" means either manufactured by Porsche as a race car, or raced professionally with a Porsche engine and non-Porsche chassis, and recognized by Porsche or a professional racing organization with a manufacturer’s championship as a Porsche. Example: 2008 LMP2 Penske Porsche RS Spyder. It is the responsibility of the owner to supply documentation of such recognition. Eligibility of the car for points in the annual Porsche Driver's Cup is one method of proof of such recognition.
GTP-2 = Over 3.4 L Normally Aspirated.
I'd say it was definitely a real racecar at one point, as it sounds like you don't get to run in GTP categories without a real logbooked racecar.
To be sure. I'd want a log book. You can buy IMSA stickers. I've done it.
I'd contact Omar Hilmi directly about the car, he'll know about it's history and preparation.
