Default Very Rare Nile Green 951 found for sale!

Well talked to the owner, I wanted to buy the car but it would just be a pipe dream as I have so many of them already. This one is probably a 1 in 1000 944 turbo as it was ordered with Nile Green paint, sport seats, sport shocks and NO SUNROOF, thats right you heard it. If it only had 220 I couldnt resist, but I have no affiliation the owner has the window sticker and lots of documents seems like it has lots of maintanence done and was well sorted. Higher mileage but price is right????

Heres his message and the option codes he sent me:

Try this link to see if the pictures are larger; http://s625.photobucket.com/albums/t...e_eh/Green951/

The option codes are in the hatch of the car, and the car is in storage right now. These are some of them taken off the original purchase order: 383, 387, 418, 425, 454, 474, 498, 593. I'll have to check the sticker in the hatch to verify. The major things are the abs, cruise control, and the delete sunroof option. I know people look for LSD but this one is not equiped.

Please let me know any specific questions you have or if you want specific pictures of anything. Thanks again.

Luke

I would buy that in a heartbeat! If I was allowed to. It does show some orange peel on the driver's side door and quarter panel. Repaint due to accident?

Always like to see our cars in rare colors. This one is very nice. They don't appear very often. I wonder if any were ever ordered with the pain-to-sample option that 911's have.

I believe a discussion was done a few years ago on the Moss green and Nile green 944's but I have never seen a thread that showed or discussed not factory special paint to sample colors! Let start one here!

It is even more rare now that I am parting my 87 951, which happens to be Nile green!

MMMMM, tasty, Sunroof delete and rare color....
Wonder what the bottom line is even with the drivers side re-paint (are those bubbles in the quarter behind the drivers door?)

MMM tasty...

The first 951 I ever saw was a green that was more green if you know what I mean. Similar to Amazon Green on the 997/987 cars. Never saw another. The car was in a body shop after a very hard multilple roll. Car was brand new with only a few hundred miles on the clock. Insurance company was paying $27K to fix it.

Is Slate grey a rare color? My car is originally that (that's what the option code says) color. Anyone got it pic? It seems to be a special color according to the option decoder.

My car is currently blue now, which I love and I'm torn between touching up th blue or repainting it slate gray.

Sprint.

Cool.... The only other Nile green 951 I've seen since finding mine!

Sunroof delete is great if you plan on turning your car into a track car, though as most know when you have the panel out on a summer's day, it's well worth the extra few pounds.....

Man I probably couldnt resist scooping it up, if it was closer. Good price, I never see deals like this pop up in PHX.
