Sold my S for a 951

After actually driving a 951 for the first time after owning my "S" for 4 years I decided that it was time for a change...
I am just lovin' this car, the boost is incredible.

I found this car on AutoTrader out in Omaha, NE. I hopped on a one-way flight a couple of weekends ago and drove her 1300 miles back to her new home here in NC.

Some details...Autothority MAF setup/stage 2 chips, all maintenance up to date..needs nothing, practically new tires, interior is almost flawless with no dash cracks, $600 Eclipse stereo with powered 8" sub-woofer, custom exterior car cover, front bra, original window sticker, have the original Blaupunkt radio, full documentation from day1. I am the forth owner.

I've always loved white 951's. The crack-free dash and all the goodies are a real plus. Congrats, nice looking car!

Nice car in nice shape! How many miles and how much did you pay?

Not digging the wheels but that can be changed!

The car has 100,000 miles...ended up costing me only $3,000 as I paid 9K and sold my "S" for 6K.
I actually love the wheels, it's a very 80's look and I've been told that they are very desirable...you don't see very many polished fuchs around.

Beautiful! White with red leather is my favorite color combo, and the Fuchs seal the whole package. Enjoy man, she looks sweet!

The 16" Turbo Fuchs are fairly scarce and bring a good price if you sell them and go with something different. A full polish isn't my favorite look for the Fuchs but they do look nice on the car. I have a set of full polished turbo phone dials on one of my 86 951's and I loved then at first but plan on leaving the polished lip and going with a dark painted center. It's on a black car and I like the 80's look also. Black centers look good on white cars too!

If Jesus were a 951, he would be that 951. Very nice!
