Is Pearl White a rare color for 951s?
I thought I remembered someone mentioning something about that.

BTW, we recently talked about this car over on the Turbo board: https://rennlist.com/forums/944-turbo-and-turbo-s-forum/167121-who-s-pearl-white-951-for-sale.html.
Rare and gorgeous color: yes. One of the first 6 US 951: probably not.
I've seen the number 18 brought up at one point as well. I also got in touch with the seller of that ad, and he got the 'first 6' story from his previous owner.

I'd love to know more about the car with the matching fuchs -- it's gorgeous!

The 6 pearl white cars that were made for the promotional offer weren't Turbo S cars. In fact, all of them were made as MY 86 cars, hence the fuchs. That car looks as if the headlight covers and front bumper have had a repaint. The rest of the car was in fantastic condition. This was at the PartsHeaven swap meet and concours. I think someone told me this guy lives in Mountain View, CA.

The repainted portions of that car look like as$ which is why I am not super keen on Pearl. It appears the sunroof was done as well.
The number 6 is thrown around often but it is becoming harder and harder to believe that claim. I can personally vouch for at least 3 of them and I was in 1 of the "6" yesterday. Seems odd that I would be able to vouch for that many.

I was thinking that little s indicated a Turbo S, when, in reality, the s was being used for pluralization. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
