Default Wow - this 951 is mint!

Or pretty close to it. . . These guys are local to me. Anyone interested? I'll be happy to go check it out (for a free ride of course!)

Too bad the wheel crests are pointing the wrong way.

Talk about a car that was barely driven... This is reminding me of the 6 year old Corvette sitting in our garage right now with 9k miles.

I'm going to say $14,000... I'm never sad to see them pull more but it IS an 86 and red (not quite a rare combination) I can see a couple of non original things on it. Very clean car none the less.

Seems like these red ultra lo-mile 951's are popping up pretty often lately.

Mine looks nothing like that. How can they possibly be almost the same exact car? Where is the chipped rearview mirror paint option?

My bet is that it's not going to sell -- it's hard to find buyers interested in museum quality cars.

Interested? You bet. Able to afford it within a week? Hell no.

Ever try to scrape up $15,000 in seven days? Sorry, can't do it.

A car worthy of a road trip to drive back i think. I would feel terrible ever buying a car that well kept. Driving it across the country where it would be left outside 24/7 pretty much and driven daily. Id be terrified to park it anywhere other than in my driveway for fear of someone hitting it, stealing it, touching it, looking at it wrong or a bird crapping on it. Not to mention id feel terrible putting mileage on it!

Because I am picky like that:
Aftermarket alarm-scary(yes you can replace that drilled out insert in the center console)
Rear Subwoofer speaker(yeah you can replace that rear deck carpeting.
Trim missing off top of master cylinder heat shield.
Amp probably drilled into body in wheel well.
Turbo reflector insert-drilled into body
Rear license plate drilled into bumper
No side trim(door guards)
Wheel weights on the outside of wheel(super ugly)
Oddly enough faded dark hood crest....
Suspect side mirror gaskets...
Aftermarket speakers in doors.

Still a work of art, but maybe with something to say....

Yeah, and don't forget :
Visible electrical alarm/cabling add-ons/mod:s
Wrong (newer style) expansion tank
Firing order decal on distributor housing missing
Blue plug on CO-adjustment hole on AFM missing
And, as already mentioned, the worst of all:
Hubcaps facing the wrong way !!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist

Actually, at one stage, the side protection trim were optional so this is probably correct.

Nitpicking, who, me ?

Side protection trim is not on all 944s - it was indeed an option. Neither of mine have it or ever did. I'm guessing $18,000 for the car.
