+1 on the 16 thing...

BUT

I am NOT a profesional body guy.. but I have done my fair share of body work... and I must say from the paint, to the panel fitment, to the over all end product.. it is horrible!

I.E. The fenders are not mounted correctly (both ABOVE the hood and headlight line).

The hood while the pictures apear to show it nicely molded, came off a Mustang...

The rear bumper is a bumper cover, not smoothed.. it is simply laid on top of the rear fender.. and while this is OK for a track car... it is an eye sore on a street car.. and certainly NOT show car quality of work.

Blow thru AFM anyone?

This reminds me of the "track car" that has been / was for sale in Florida last year (has been on and off for a long time)... it had some bits oriented at a track car, but other that were strictly street car... not enough of either to make a good representation either way!

Stuck on fiberglass looks, well, stuck on. What drew me to the 951 in the first place was the molded look. All of a piece. It was one of the first cars with a plastic bumper cover in body color. The 911s didn't have that in 86. Bumperettes. Feh.

That thing's been posted here a few times before.

Pretty sure Lart originally found it. And passed on it. I think that in itself should tell you something...

If it was a Callaway Turbo (without he hideous body kit) it may be worth the money he wants. It looks like all he did was make it ugly and stick a turbo engine in it.

Too fast... Too furious... I'm too fast fo y'all, mane!

I really think he just drove around town, saw a Mustang Cobra hood, said "that would look sweet on my Porsh! Let's put it on!" Repeat for Dodge Neon SRT-4 grille, some guy's Civic for the inlets, a Fiero for the front bumper, and that cool whistle sound that turbos make. Oh, and who doesn't want an extra, non-functional exhaust pipe?
