Can anyone pull owner info from a Maryland title? The car was titled in MD in 2002 (possibly the 3rd owner at that point) in Dundalk with the title number of: 32139736. VIN is: WPOAA2954KN150646.

I'm not 100% positive on this but eBay auctions are usually up after bidding ended (you can view them months after), listings are permanently unaccessible when removed because of auction irregularities, which may be the case here.

That was the cleanest engine bay I had ever seen! And these 3.6Turbo wheels are to die for!

Regards,
Chris

OK, just heard from the "owner" of the vehicle. They say that eBay pulled the auction due to fraudulent activity (my guess is shill bidding to up the ante). Further developments are pending...

Doing some research on this car, I found another 951 S in the same area: here

This one is a "true" S (1988), with only 19,000 miles. Doesn't look as clean as the black car, but the price is right for a very low mileage S.

There was just a thread on that car about a month ago. The guy started it at 12K then got a flurry of interest, then raised it to 15K, then was taking offers. AFAIK he sold it for 18K?? in a couple of days. Search for the thread.

This is a different car. The one you are talking about was a 86 black on black 951. It had 33k miles on it. He started it at $14,000 And then like you said he got alot of interest on it. Jerked me around and said he was now taking offers. He did end up selling it for 18 g's I think that was a bit 2 much for an 86. If it was a turbo s I could understand.

No, Brian was right. Thread on the maroon car a few weeks ago. Original asking price was $12k in the ad, but he would not sell it at that. Wonder if it sold at $18k like was reported. Maybe not

Never heard about jerking around on the '86 car. If people want to find the highest bidder, start an ebay auction. That is their purpose!

Here's the thread with "the maroon one":

The cars.com link goes to the same ad.

That's funny ****.... 2 stupid *** sellers not understanding the market value of cars. Put a price on it they feel is fair and then jerk everyone around. Just plain bull **** if you ask me.

You want up to date? I got up to date...

The black car is clean, very clean, so clean in fact that I flew up to Maryland on Thursday to look it over. Nice condition in person, very nice in fact, so nice that I actually drove the thing home after my visit...

Chris Prack saw it on Friday when I went to say "Hi" to him and look at some of the wicked armament in his shop. Judging by the work I saw there, I'd recommend his services to any rennlister. Thanks for taking the time to say "Hi" Chris!

The drive home showed a very few electrical gremlins, nothing that wouldn't be expected of a 17 year old car. The engine sings like a dream; suspension, brakes, body, interior, paint, etc are all in top shape.

Plenty of pics to follow after she gets a real good bath.

You're too kind.

I took the car to Brumos yesterday to grab a couple of things I needed (was driving through Jacksonville on the way home). Some of the sales staff actually came out of the building to look the car over.
