So I bought this car because I love all 924/944/968's and especially the turbos....I really can't find a lot out there on the Hobert 931's. I am a rennlist person from back in the day (email digests circa 1995?) so I posted there and got nothing. Maybe people here know more about these cars. I have the original window sticker from Hobert Porsche showing this car was a Hobert Carrera GT conversion. 22K original miles and service history as well.

What else do people know about this new car of mine? I will do my best to attach pictures.

Id love to know whatever you can tell me..

looks very nice, that front bumper must be one of the cleanest and best fitted i've seen in a long while.

Thanks for the information. The car is still in transit to me. So I don't know all the answers. All I do know is that I have a receipt for a $5K Hobert Carrera GT conversion Kit. It might just be the body and wheels...??

I will know more in a week when it arrives.

Here is an engine bay photo. From what I can tell it looks mostly stock. You all will know better.

...The car sat for 20 years before it was brought back to life with a mechanical restoration to get it back on the road and driving.
