I've seen it before, probably those exact same pictures. Pretty sure it's been on and off ebay for a few years.

I think so as well.

I've only interacted with Powerhaus once, back when I lived in AZ and was looking into buying my first 951. Guy definitely seems to know his stuff; IMA out in VA has a similar attitude.

All I can remember about our encounter was him trying to convince me to NOT buy a 951. Weird.

It WAS David Raines personal car..... I worked on it there when I was working at PowerHaus for almost 2 years....
PowerHaus here in Az is no more, David sold it and now he works at the P-car dealership in North Scottsdale, I still talk to him every now and then...
Nice car, it was DRIVEN to a lot of events/races.... it was BUILT right!!!

Or you could get a whole clone of the car for that money, I believe this impeccable example went for $66k

That said, it's a beautiful car

No offense to David, but I'll pay 50k for a Milledge built motor before I buy this. The market the way it is, He would be lucky to get half that.

PowerHaus has a few high powered 951's. One of them is on this board, which I still have the ad from dupont registry.

I am borderline obsessed with these cars. I can't help myself.

To the right. Only a Republican would spend that much money on that car. J/K

I have seen the car in person and it has the best of everything on it and is in excellent shape. The pictures really don't do it justice. The asking price is still a bit stiff though.
