I'm not an expert on this or anything, but I know a lot of people will be hesitant over a NA 944 turned into a 951. Bearing this in mind, all of the mods you listed are solid and things that most of us do to our cars anyway. Depending on mileage I'd guess this could be a $13-18k (maybe more, who knows with the market these days) car with the right pictures and the right description. Posting pics will certainly help.

Agree with above. However, technically it is not a 951 but a modded 944. Generally speaking you need to find the "right" buyer for that sort of car.

The car is amazing and nicer then original 951's, especially in Nile Green. And not to mention, the car is just so much fun to drive. When or if i sell this car, the person who buys it would get a solid car with no issues. The one thing i would miss is how it takes corners, it is amazing.

Hard to say without pics. I've got a 951 that I've been trying to sell for the last month that isn't too far off from yours as far as build goes (Suspension, Engine work, exhaust, etc) and haven't gotten a ton of interest at $10.5k I think to the right buyer, low to mid teens might be attainable but again, hard to say without pics.

This is just saying something that everyone in this forum already knows about the 944, though. Everyone here knows they handle like a dream and are super fun to drive. Without pics it's hard to tell if it's "nicer" (which is subjective anyways) than original 951's. Like stated above, you're trying to sell a modified 944, NOT a 951. An original 951 will almost always demand a higher price than a 944 modified to be a turbo car. That's just the truth about Porsche owners, they're very particular.

ha-ha...I made the mistake of wanting to see your car out of curiosity. I searched your posts thinking no problem. Damn...you post a lot and about many esoteric things.

Gave up. Good luck.

These cars function the same for the most part. Fun yes. I am looking to get a challenger to play with. The one thing I do really like about my car is that it is very mechanical. No buttons, and junk to deal with . Plain simple and nothing to do but drive it. Ah, maybe I will keep it and buy the other car and the boat I am looking at too. Car, boat, and bathroom Is it going to be an expensive month.

I don't post any pics. Former Govt type, so little is given or shown. Sorry. I did get the Saratoga tops done again, and I love mine. You saw that in your search.

Pretty hard to gauge what your car is worth without them. I understand. ISIS may be searching for a HULK to convert to combat SHIELD.
