Just passing what I saw on as I know there are only a few of these colored 951's in existence!

Wonder what he wants for it. When I got a buddy's well used 87 951, he replaced it w/one of these. I had to rebuild the engine because he promptly spun #2 rod bearing not long after he got it.

how do you know when your rod bearing needs to be replaced?

You loose oil pressure or you hear a piston slapping or knocking because the rod bearing spun!

Hmmm... with matching fuchs. Nice!

There was one that sold in San Francisco a couple of years ago -- I wonder if it's the same one. Looks too nice to be Juan's pearl white....

Well - If anyone calls can you get the VIN and let me know it? I've been recording these with pics as someday I am hoping to buy one

The last one I saw Pearl for sale in SF is the car Juan bought from Deep Purple who bought it from Sailracer in Stockton. This one does look very clean but Pearl has always looked sort of "The Osmonds Meet Geritol" to me.

He was VERY lucky. He had just gotten off I 40 after doing about 125mph for 20 miles or so, and was going up a driveway at about 2-3 mph when it just...locked up!

He ran the car low on oil when we went to The Mitty at Road Atlanta, but the car didn't lock up for several months after that.

Hey that's my pic :-) My little girl was highly photogenic too. She'd ridden in almost as many Porsches as I have.

Anyone know the mileage on the one for sale? Does it have LSD or ABS (or is it definitely an 86, in which case I know the answer to the latter)?

It is definitely an '86 so no ABS.
