Not too bad from what we can see (which isn't much)... post more pictures!!

Did you get them both at once or from different sellers?

And, what are your plans for them? Gonna fix them up or part them out, or track cars, or what?

I will get more pics, hopefully tomorrow...

Both from same seller and planning to go thru both cars and see what's what.

One ran and the other wanted to run. No plans on parting, track car or driver would be FUN!

I've never driven a 951 but hear they are a blast!

Will do, and during the pre-purchase discussion with the seller, he disclosed that neither had the 220 option. We could not get the back hatch on the BONE colored car to open to check the options. We are hoping that the other one has the 220 DIY improvement due to the other suspension upgrades we found.

Nice. Don't really need a "good eye" to see that fitment issue. Check the front end for collision damage on both.

86 Turbo phonies can be worth a bit, too.

Will do and both cars were missing chin spoilers as well.

As for the phonies, is there some sort of 951 Registary (as there is a 928 Registary) that I can compair the VIN's.

Thanks

"phonies" is a slang term for Phone Dials
