I totally disagree with many of the quitters here.

In relative terms these are rare cars and should be restored, not throw away. There were only 25,000 951 cars WORLDWIDE when new.

To put that in perspective. Ford made over 500,000 Mustangs in 1965 alone!!!

People are paying high dollars for cars that look pretty and currently run. Most of those have old paint, working but old parts that will need replacing at some point anyway.

I personally think you can have a better, nicer, newer car by buying a "Barn find" and fixing it up wisely. Fresh paint and rubber seals are not really that expensive. Not to mention the reliability of refreshed mechanical parts. You can also upgrade along the way.

If you are always looking for the cheapest way to fix a broken part, or are paying a shop to do all the work the car will probably kill you. If you enjoy restoring a classic and taking pride in making it nice again then you can have a better car in the long run.
