Default Going to let my 951 go.....

I need the $$$ for a downpayment on the new house....So, unfortunately, combined with the fact that I need to get a vehicle for the family and all season driving, I am entertaining letting my 951 go.
Here is the ebay link...

I may entertain a partial trade for a car or SUV more geared toward the family and all season driving.

Did you get your weird popping and rich condition sorted? I am very interested in this car, would you feel comfortable sending me in a 10 hour drive to Birmingham in it?
Does it need anything right now or in the near future and does it have a limited slip diff?
Would you be able to meet me somewhere closer to Birmingham for a pick up, like relatives in another town farther south or something?

Default sure did

Yeah... It was a vaccuum problem that was cured with all new Lindsay lines... I also did about 2,000 dollars worth of upgrades while I was at it. At the buy it now, I am losing a lot of $$$$ (about 2200.00 in 2 months)
The car runs VERY strong, and I wouldn't hesetate to take it on a trip. I don't know about the limited slip differential... only one wheel spins at a time when it is jacked up, if that is how you tell. I did replace the fluid with Red Line a few miles back. I really don't have a way to meet you, unfortunately, I am really busy this time of year. If you have any more questions, please ask.

Is the oil coming from the front or rear of the engine, just trying to figure out what kind of leak possibilities I'm looking at.

Just a suggestion. Take pics of the car without the bra. A potential buyer should be able to see the whole car and not have to wonder what may be hiding under there.

I really can't tell for sure where the oil is coming from... it seems to drip on the passenger side off the oil pan... maybe a oil pan gasket, as the fins are a little wet with oil??? If I can get the digital camera back, I'll take some more pics. The bra is hiding a front end in need of paint.... faded... etc...

Would you feel comfortable saying the car would make the 450 mile trip to Birmingham ok, or would you feel it needed anything before the drive? I am ready to buy something but I don't want too much of a project vehicle so the less money I have to spend will be more that I could use to rehab the paint on this car, just be upfront with me as possible.
PM me with your bottom barrell price and lets see if we can do this.

I feel certain it would make the trip just fine. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it that far. I'll PM you my email address.
