I recall seeing pics of this car in another for sale ad, and its been significantly altered from the factory original specs.

Yep, the A&H car was just a plain jane 1986 951 that was transformed into a pink racer....

It did a couple DE track days and had an incident in turn 13 of Mid Ohio, damaging one of the rear corners. I'd say without a doubt this was your car # 165103. He's since retired to Florida.

Moskalik was the owner/founder of Kelly Moss ("Moss" came from his last name, "Kelly" was his wife's name). I know of an Escort car that came out of Kelly Moss about 8-10 years ago and has traded hands in the WI and MN area several times. I am planning on seeing that car this wknd and will check the VIN, but I was assuming it was the #103 car.

Paul;
I have some pics of some of these variants from my days of attending both the Escort and Playboy series races up at Mid-Ohio in the late 80's. Pics are non-digital of course, but I'll try and scan and post when I get a chance.

Edit:
Pics I have are of the:
#7 Carlsen Porsche 951--White with white Ronal fins
#73 Rothmans 951 -- Sewickley and Tire America
#81 Leroy Cannon Motors 951 (Rothman colors)
Seems all but the #7 car can be seen in link above.

Will you be able to make high resolution versions, suitable for printing available?
Thanks in advance!

Roger, I hadn't driven the car in almost a year, but got it out the other day and remembered what a great car it is! I've ordered a (blasphemy!) Ford GT, so I may try to sell this, but........ I may not!

I'm just not an Aston or Maserati or Ferrari guy, and have never considered buying any car like this until the GT came out. I just couldn't not get one! (Blue, no stripes)
