A couple of pics:

nice rear quarter pic:

Love that front end, yeah, some "road rash", but she is a track beast!

Good looking Recaros!

[racer]

If you'd rather not receive all the valuable "extras" that go with the car (2 spare fuchs, original muffler, original oil cooler, spare decklid, original front valance and chin spoiler) let me know.

Just last week, car (and driver) set FTD at Potomac PCA Autocross!

[racer]

Here's a pic from Lime Rock '04 shaking down the suspension upgrades. Taken at "track out" of Big Bend"...

This was with the 7s and 8s. Car is currently running 8's front and 9's rear!

[racer]

Price update - $16,500 without the "extras" (2 wheels, decklid, front chin spoiler/valance, spare 951 calipers, air filter, Forsight camera and I am sure a few other things)

[racer]

Bump.. Don't let the season pass you by

Bump.. $16K without extras ($17K with).. Great car. Great deal! As with most improved cars, its like getting "free" upgrades at this price!

[racer]

Summer is a great time to buy

[racer]

Wow.. 1/2 a summer gone by. At least I get to enjoy the car while its on the market...

Don't be shy, but do be reasonable

[racer]

Lost on pg 5.. bump to the top! mmm August!

Two fantastic days at Summit Point. Despite searing heat (upper 90's air temp, high humidity too!) the car ran strong and "cool"...

[racer]

Another pic! (everyone loves pics )

Front 3/4


She's not a concours queen.. she actually gets driven!

[racer]

bump..

[racer]

Bump!

[racer]

$15K? reasonable offers?

This is a great car. It would cost considerably more to duplicate! Sure you can buy less expensive SC's, but then you'll have to start replacing worn out items. Heck, 8/9 Fuchs are $1500 (at least).. Front oil cooler and valance? Another $1K, Torsion and sway bars, turbo tie rods and custom valved Bilsteins? Parts alone-$3K. (New) clutch and flywheel? $1K

Well sorted and proven autocrosser.. great fun at the track too!

September is here, why wait!
