Pretty sure it is Zermatt Silver. I will do a little more digging after work today and find the paint tag.

That is one hell of a steal. Wow.
Hows the engine look? Does it meet my criterion of a good 951 - i.e. leaks no more than 2 fluids and uses no more than 3 quarts of oil a month?

The battery was dead , so the tow truck driver let it run for the whole 45 mins it was in tow, while it was on the flatbed, I did not see any signs of any leaks anywhere. I have not racked the car yet , but looks dry as can be. Wow!

Broken glass? Perfect candidate for a 968 hatch swap! They look GREAT on the 951.

holy cow nice score!!!!
i may be a hoodlum driving my 911 but a 951 would most definitely provide me with stories of jail time for speeding.

It gets even better. I bought the car from a second party, who never transferred the title into his own name, I believe they call this " curbing " the title. The guy I bought the car from buys junk cars and scraps them for a living.
I looked up the original owner today, and called him. He was real nice, and talked to me for over an hour. Can you believe that he sold this Turbo S to the junk man for $300.00. Simply unbelievable. I thought I got a great deal. We are meeting for a couple of beers this weekend, he seemed real eager to tell me everything he knows about the car.

Sweet deal and to have the original owner willing to tell you about it is worth a lot IMO.
