Geez! I couldn't find them in the parts manual..maybe Porsche had a secret menu like In & Out Burger?! The car would be an interesting project.

"... The rear window is also larger and the roof line is subtly different."

Define subtlety.

Re water cooled brakes, you wont find them in the parts manual as they were aftermarket, as far as I can ascertain yhey were made by "Der elves in der voods"

Actually kind of surprised it's bid this well, there's just a ton of work to do there.

It looks to be a coupe that someone cut the roof away to convert it to a unique attempt to make it look like an open car.
Very surprising that this has received bids this high as this will need major work to find and purchase a top and put it back on again.

My guess would be whoever was bidding on this car didn't fully understand that it wasn't a cab.

I agree. I think the "missing hardtop" part of the description doesn't quite capture the notion that it was a cobbled up coupe/cab attempt at a conversion.
