It's a nice car, but not worth $25k in this market. GLWS.

I think if the seller wants to sell it quick there are probably some guys out there at 14K. When you get over 15K there are some great cars out the for this to compete with. A friend of mine picked up a 04 zo6 with 60K miles at $20K. , and it had $10,000 worth of upgrades.

Not everyone is affected by the economy. But, like I said, offers will be heard. The right buyer will come around sooner or later, no rush.

Curious: does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade to the vibration-reducing weights on the shock towers?

My 92 also came without the weights on top of the shock towers but after experiencing a noise when braking were installed free of charge by my Porsche dealer. This remedy was mentioned in a technical service bulletin and the weights were just glued on.

RE: alternator and windshield.
The alt was replaced after noticing an annoying bearing "whirr" from it, even though it still functioned fine.
The windshield has the antenna provision, and was rather expensive, however I can't remember the brand of it. I do know that quality glass was used and it was a bit of a search to find someone that would do the install without using a cheap windshield. Who knew it was so hard to get good glass installed in a Porsche?

As for other little things, Royal Purple was used in the gearbox, synthetic DOT4 brake fluid with few miles on it, Koni's are set to soft (comes with the adjuster), all new belts, and its been garaged its entire life.

The next time I get out to the garage, I'll snap some pictures of the goodies inside the storage compartment in the engine bay.
For now, I'm going to take my 951 out and track down some parts for a Studebaker Hawk I'm restoring. Whoo!

I hope everyone is having great weather and hitting some twisties

One more thing, my cell is 425-280-8598 and I'm happy to answer any questions please use my number with respect of course.

Barry, Take your time if you do not need the money. If things change for me over the next few months I might even be able to put together a serious offer.

So it does not have the m030 option? Can you tell us what m030 parts were installed?
