Imo too much, that looks like it needs $10k spending on it to make it a $20k car.

Wrong door panels I have the exact same car....That Crazy fabric on the seats was continued onto the door cards... 14 is a little high for so much work... and not even all the parts are there

The first thing I would do if I were to inspect it before purchase would to see if the transaxle was an AOR and the engine was stamped with a 52. It does have a little body damage so I would look more into that and look to see how much rust the car contains.

Agreed. Probably a bit overpriced but over all the car doesn't look horrible.
That pic under the front appeared to have a bit of oily grime. I'm guessing a few oil leaks.
I think the pink plaid also extended to the rear seats (the rear seat and door panels are the same ox blood color as in my car). With that said, it wouldn't surprise me if Porsche ran out of plaid door panels and rear seats and just substituted ox blood instead.

Interesting thought but the door panels themselves are wrong. Pretty sure turbo-s had two speakers panels. One down low and the other up high for the tweeters (at least both of my cars do).....well not the racecar anymore lol. But I still have the original door cards !

Apart from the door panels and 10 speaker system that are missing, I also don’t see split rear seats. I wonder what else has been cannibalized from others to make this frankencar or even if the aor trans, M030 suspension or S brakes are still there.

Btw it’s surprising how much more these go for in Europe/row, the non-federalized 88 951S Silver Rose is a very desirable animal with its lack of sidelights, cleaner rear bumper and sunroof delete as Porsche intended it to look.

So looking at the oil pan who can tell me what’s wrong? And look at the intake manifold. It is the correct one for a TS but there looks to be a bolt in the rear banjo bolt hole and a double banjo bolt setup like say an 86/87 intake manifold has in the closer vacuum port. I think they are asking $10G’s to much.

Yup didn't catch that, it has an early pan on it from an 86. So if it truly is an "s" the dash light must be on because with the early pans there is no hole in the side for the level sensor as well...it more than likely is not an s and hence the picture of the rear caliper and not the front..... And pretty sure the owner put that extra "S" on the rear, I don't believe the factor ever put that on..
So in this case it might be an 88 Vin car. But the "S" Stands for. SCAM or when you buy it and it has 87 spindles and an open diff it will stand for "Screwed".

There is a pic of the VIN number....if the pic is the VIN from the car. That should identify it's not an S

I read WPOAA295XJN151251....not the greatest pic

UPDATE to the owner

Ok. I just ran the VIN with Porsche. IT IS NOT AN S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OWNER is 100% wrong
