Default Very rare summer yellow 951 for sale on ebay

No affiliation with the seller but I figure this car should be documented as I only know of one other Summer Yellow 951.

Text of the ad for preservation sake...


1987 Porsche 944 Rare Yellow – Original Owner – Custom Sunroof

This is a nicely kept rare yellow 1987 PORSCHE 944 with a black leather interior, 2.5L L4 Turbo engine and 5-speed manual transmission. The car is also equipped with power steering, power windows, tachometer, A/C, dual front airbags, ABS brakes and more. The car is in very good condition inside and out, so bid with confidence. The only things I can find issues with are: driver side lumber seat control switch does not work, should be an easy switch replacement. This is not my daily driver so sometimes you have turn the key on/off once to start. It doesn’t happen all the time – just seems like when it sits a while turning the key on turns the fuel pump on because there might not be fuel in the lines from sitting. The dash has some cracks in it from the sun. The only other thing is there are some minor scratches in the paint on the bottom of the front bumper because it is low to the ground. I took a ton of pictures so you can see everything or feel free to come by and see it for yourself.

Some things to mention:
Original Owner
Has Original Owner Manuals
Custom Sunroof
Built-in Bel under dash radar detector
Synthetic oil around 60k
65k Timing Belt was changed.
All tires only have about 10k on them

Agree 100%. However, I will clarify. The color "Speed Yellow" (see GT3, etc) is FAR from gay. That "sunflower yellow" which has also shown up on Boxsters is terrible on a car, IMO.

If it was a dark yellow like a 911 GT2, that would be another story, but this light yellow is very lemony!
