Could not help myself...
Well I just couldn't resist...'87 951
 the car has all the maintenance records up to date ( 150 k - timing belt, balance belt, new rollers, etc. done at 140k) he even took it to the Porsche dealer ( in ABQ) and they gave it a total going over. Pages of records, from the original owner to date! The bad...  and it has lots of chips, faded spots and scratches in the paint. Interior has excellent condition sport seats ( rear seats are cracked on top, carpet is so -so, missing a few switches...) what do you want for $3k? The tires are brand new and this car runs scary fast, makes my NA feel like a go cart! OK, it needs a little TLC, but overall did I do alright?

Nice find Steve. Curious how you found it? I am in ABQ and sort of keep an eye out locally from time to time. No way I could pick up another toy ( the following divorce would break me) but still poke around just to see. Only 951 I have noticed was silver.

Hey, Kirby,
The guy selling it put an ad in our local paper and a friend of mine told me about it. I was the first on the scene and after driving it and looking over the records ( easily $10k worth in repairs, maintenance and mods the past 3 years) decided I could not pass it up. Young guy selling it, has a new baby...you know the story. $3k was his asking price, I almost feel like I should have offered him more! It does need some work, though, so I'll end up putting some more money and a lot of elbow grease into before it's all over. There are only 3 944's in Durango ( that I know of, it's a small town...) and now I own 2 of 'em! Haven't decided what to do with my '83 yet, I put so much work into it I hate to let it go ,but I also have two trucks, so my insurance bill is more than a car payment! What to do?  ...
