86 951 for sale - $7500 neg.!
Hey guys,
My buddy needs to sell his 951 fairly quickly and he asked me if anyone I knew would be interested in the car. I, of course, came here first. Its a beautiful example from 1986 and he's owned it since 1988 (second owner). He currently has an upgraded FPR and APE Stage 2 chips in it, along with a strut tower brace and cross-drilled/slotted rotors. It also has the factory M030 option. Here's a link to a page I made for him that has all the information and a load of pictures. Email me at jasfox@vt.edu if you are interested!

Ethan,
Does that mean you may be interested in the car? He lives here in Blacksburg with me (about 5.5 hours from Baltimore), so its not too far away. Let me know if you want any more information on the car or would like to give my friend a call and chat about it.

better price though (I'm not desperate to sell)

I'm trying to get him to take some better photos of the car now. We snapped those real quick one afternoon just as the sun was going down. The interior is, in fact, brown. The flash on the camera makes it look burgundy in some spots, but if you look at the steering wheel you'll notice its brown. The carpet however is burgundy.

I'll ask him today or get the option codes off his car. When he told me all the stuff he had he mentioned he had a "rare Club Sport suspension package" of which only a handful of cars in 86 had. I just assumed he meant the M030 option. I haven't checked the option codes to verify. I also wasn't aware that the 86s didn't come with M030 - good to know!

All the exposed areas look slightly burgundy but if you pull the seats it quickly fades to brown. It's a slightly unusual look though not at all garish.
In anycase, that car should have NO problems selling if the mechanics are even close to the appearance.

I wish he was selling it last october when I was in the market! He's an orthopedic surgeon, so he has the funds to keep it in good shape. For the past 7 years he's used a mechanic in WVA that used to work on 944/951 racecars and has replaced numerous items. The car has great power and handles fantastically. He told me that he hates to sell it, but he needs to liquidate some of his assets to fund the downpayment on his new office. I think he's tired of driving it too, since he tires of cars rather quickly and changes his daily driver every couple of years. His current car is a 2002 MB SLK32 AMG that he wants to replace with a Viper or a 996TT/996TT X50. Its a rough life!
