Any guesses as to why all three auctions were pulled early?
GOBOGIE: I'll surely reply if I hear anything. This car needs to be sold to me before I get a wild hair and buy a 911...

Interestingly, I bought it from a guy named Rex Ecoff. He said he collected this car after he retired from racing the 944 turbos because he enjoyed them so much. Told me when the turbo was initially developed, seven went to north America, each with a Porsche mechanic. Ecoff got two of them and said GM developed a car to compete against the turbo. Consistently, GM won on courses with more straights and the turbo won courses with more turns.

I don't know what Gm prepared to race against the new 944 turbo, but obviously the 951 challenged GM. I do remember Ecoff telling me that GM always won on more straights, and the turbo always won on more curves. It just depended on the track. I have often thought it was a vette. Look at what they finally did with a transaxle. Maybe they learned something? I wish I had talked more with the Ecoff, but I had made a hasty trip to indianapolis to pickup the car and trailer it back.
