And as desirable as plentiful....

I personally like the crushed fenders, obviously someone cared for the car, just not enough to make whoever crushed the fenders fix them....

Seats that color did exist. About as rare as can-can red seats. But as they don't match the rest of the interior, it's gotta be a recover. It looks slick in that white car. They would look a lot better with a blue or black interior instead of burgandy though. Looks like its got nice sewer lids (forged, love 'em or hate em) and 10 speaker door panels.

One of these days I want to drive a slushbox 944 and see if it'll be something that the wifey would like to drive around. Were I in the market right now and if it didn't have all of the crunched fenders, I'd take a look at that one, just for grins. That said, it's pretty pricey even if it had straight fenders!

It's arguably more durable than the NA manual box. Just food for thought.

Yeah, but it only has 3 gears. In my opinion it takes all the fun out of driving a sports car. But to each their own I guess.

Probably due to the HP loss through the Automatic, the R&P and internals see much less stress when the chance of shock loading...

Now anyone know how these transmissions hold up to neutral drops?????

And on another thought... If I hadn't just picked up the 951, I might consider this, nope.... never mind, I still wouldn't consider this.....
