The rear wheels are not centered in opining. Looks strange
ALL 359’s look strange………
It is about a 2.5-hour drive away from me. If it was closer I might be curious enough to go look at it.

It’s all in the wheels. It’s always the wheels. If that car had proper BBS mesh w/cooling tins, properly centered and backspaced it would look fantastic.
For that matter, it would look pretty good with the original 16” 968 C1 wheels, which are a 5 bolt version of the 959’s center lock wheels, but they’d need spacers they’re only 7” & 8” wide.
Look at the pictures of Jimmy’s GT40 replica when he first bought it. The side that had the Halibrand repros on it looked great. The side that originally had some generic aftermarket wheels on it screamed “KIT CAR.”
I still say a 359 sitting on one of Carey’s 904\Super Coupe frames with any number of power trains, from Boxster to LS, would be a fantastic car. Along as it had proper wheels. 
ps: I’m hoping (guessing) that rear wheel well thing is just lens compression. I don’t know how you could get the chassis that far off and still have the body fit.
Even the 928 wheels would look good -
That might be worth a look for the engine.

Most of them......
Exactly.

Hardcastle & McCormick!! My first exposure tot he Coyote. I would still like one of those.
You missed your chance. That one was on CL. No idea what it went for.
I’m guessing someone bought this and finished it.
