Default Concours quality 951 for sale! Price Reduced!

It Is official I am selling my 1987 944 turbo,
this car was fanatically maintained and garaged its entire life, I even have records of when the car was placed in winter storage!
All major maint has been performed clutch belts etc
I have records for all of this.
The car is alpine white with burgundy interior
Exterior is a 9.8 out of 10 interior is perfect, no cracks in dash!
This car could be placed in a showroom as new!
The mileage is currently at 71,000 there are few cars left with mileage this low.
The car is a nicely optioned stock car with a couple minor improvements.
autothority chip(period Appropriate) and a welt. strut bar
I have added rear koni adj. shocks and will include new front inserts and welt. springs (not installed) I also will include a new AC comperssor kit purchased from paragon.
I have babied the car and have had it to the track three times, but as an instructor, I get 2 20 min sessions each day, so not much track time.

I was upset the car did not have lsd so I installed a custom built 944 S2 LSD unit with 80% lock, not ideal on the street, trans is noisy, but the gear ratio makes the car fly!
I will sell with stock and S2 trans or I will sell with stock trans installed.

Price is 12,000 with both transmissions currently S2 installed
or $11,500 with stock trans.
This is a rare car in this condition, it only leaves the garage on nice days.
THE FISKE WHEELS IN THE PICS WILL NOT BE INCLUDED!
I will include the rare optional 951 wheel the car was delivered with, (pics below)
Yoy can contact me at 410-279-2622
Thanks,
Ben
Having problem with pics,
will add soon

Changed the headline and isn't this a re-post too Ben? I'm just kidding with you my pal. I would have thought that you would have sold this beauty by now? Are you gonna just stick with Renn, or consider PCA, cars.com, autotrader.com? I know you have priorities in life, and you know I wish you the very best, but it is ashame to see that car go. It's beautiful.

Has the car competed in concours events? If so, can you share the judge's score sheets?

Thanks

I have never entered this car in a show, but was bought from a northern new jersey PCA member who had won some events, the car was bought sight unseen, with the exception of a friend checking it out.
I have been a fanatic with the car and it is currently sitting under a cover in my garage!

Put the pics you sent me in my above post. Incase you didn't figure it out, you have to change the file extension from .dat to .jpg, and then they work fine.

If nobody buys it I can just let it sit in the garage and start to give it the horsepower it deserves in the spring!

Things look like they are turning around but I should still sell it!

If I sell it my next one will not be as nice so I will not feel guilty going to the track, I could not bear to put a cage in this car or over modify it.
Here is a good dash pic!
