Yes, be prepared .

When I had the 951 over at the shop one day I asked the supervisor something about "did he know about ... on the 944 Turbo."

He said yep he knew them. Not that part exactly but that "they are JOB SECURITY."

I was just there to use the rack for an oil change.

if you remove them they should have a part number stamped into them.

if they are 951 wheels it will be a 951.xxx.xxx.xx number.

The interior is in great condition though just dirty, nicer than my uncles 968.

Welcome to RL and I can't believe you gave up a Valiant for a 944...those old Mopars will run 300K miles between oil changes and chicks go crazy over them, unfortunately they are crazy chicks.

I still have my ~450hp 440ci/7.2L 1973 Charger so giving up the Valiant wasn't too bad.
The 1974 Valiant, 17,700 original miles on it when I sold it, 318ci/5.2L

Message me if you go to another game. It would be nice to see a 944 on campus.
