At least it's a cheap 951. . . but you know the saying about nothing being more expensive than a cheap Porsche.

I predict this'll be a time bomb for someone. . .

The bomb already went off... I am wondering if that really is one of the original pearl 951s. It is a nice color combination though. Regardless of the ebay seller, it was a nice car.

Yea. If I had a spare $4k lying around I'd actually consider it because:

(1) I'm insane
(2) I like the color
(3) It'd look good broken down on the side of the I-10 driving back from AZ.

Its an engine fire victim. The car is worth less than 1/2 than what its going for in my opinion.

I could possibly see $3K but no more. It does look like someone handy could bring it back provided the timing belt didn't get cooked w/collateral damage.
