Pretty car, good luck with the sale.
Just one caution about those harnesses -- the shoulder belts should not be used in that configuration because they are anchored too low. There are a couple of different harness bars which you can get to anchor them properly and they're inexpensive and easy to install.

Very nice but why the heck would one disconnect both the AC and the Heater ? I would consider paying close to your asking if both were working. Is that possible ?

why would any responsible parent purchase a car like this for their child, other than living vicariously through them. Poor visibility, lack of today's safety features, propensity to speed (16 year olds are very impressionable), etc etc. Do you and your kid a favor and start them out in a slow, safe and reliable car. Golfs and Jettas come to mind.

Totally not a car for a 16 year old. They are reliable and great cars, but need attention often.
Also, these cars will get you into trouble faster than most. It's not really the acceleration as minivans these days are getting fast, but it's the cornering ability, the brakes, and the overall positive confidant feeling these cars provide. You will get too cocky and end up doing something stupid. I had one of these in my mid-20s and it was still questionable if it was a good idea!!
Also, you need a garage filled with mechanics tools and the knowledge on how to use them to sensible afford one.
Hope that helps...

Thank you PPo. My dad also owns a Porsche shop and has lots of help and tools there. We also have a lift and tons of tools at home. I am actually planning on using it for autocross because my dad is a member of PCA and I will be too if I get one. Thank you for your input.

Regarding the AC, I actually have a rebuilt compressor that has not been installed. So installing the compressor and a new dryer should have you in good shape. I have not tested the electricals for the AC but everything is as it should be.
Thanks for the question.

I would consciously recommend a 951 to a new driver.
