The wheels are correct for a 90/91 turbo.

Ok, I was under the impression that 89on were all Turbo S spec with forged Club Sport wheels. Those are cast wheels correct?

Right, the 88 TS and 89T cars came with the 7 & 9" forged club sports. The 90-91 Turbos had the cast D90's, 7.5 & 9" I think.

Anyone in MN willing to take a look at this car? I'm in the market for a clean 951S.

If the current owner purchased this car in Calgary it is a nice car. I spoke with the owner of a red 1990 a few years ago who was selling it. I have pics on my cell phone I could post. I would have purchased it but was short the funds for asking price of 17000.00$ Canadian at the time. It turned out the owner sold it for 12500.00$ Canadian and I could have done it at that price. Bummer for me.

Hi guys, I am the current caretaker and seller of the 951 in Minnesota. This car did come from Canada however not the same one that is pictured from Calgary. See attachment of my original Canadian plate.

This must be the other red 1990 Turbo I saw listed for sale a year or two ago in Alberta - I think it was in Rocky Mountain House? ~$30k CDN asking price or so. The listing didn't last long.

I don't believe is has any turbo S suspension or other S parts meaning M030 spindles, hubs, brakes, rims, AOR, bigger turbo, it's just like a regular 87/88 turbo. Only the 88 turbo S and 89 turbo's had that good stuff. And only the 88 turbo S had all the options like headlight washers and split rear seats.

The 1990 and 1991 could be ordered with all of the options of the turbo S. I had a conversation with MCL Porsche back in 1993 when they serviced my car a number of times when I looked into purchasing a 1990.
