it drives? the front wheel looks like it's angled inward. maybe it's just the pic. even so, for $1600 to get a 951 that at least can be a parts car and maybe fixed isn't too bad.

Well Wolfrpi and I went through the thing This eve. It's got upgraded front springs and newer struts,It's been chipped but we don't know which one, there is some mod to get the boost up to 2 bar. all the underside hoses look like they have been replaced recently. I'm going to get some tires for it and see if the rear end Vibe goes away.. and by the way if anyone is intrested 15 phone dials will fit on a 86 Turbo...

Matt

but I don't recomend it

Cool

WOW! you're luck to pay for a Turbo only $1,600! You just need to get new fenders and door and some bodywork. What color are you going to paint it?

got it out of the recycler. I'm going to keep it silver/grey that it is. I've always liked the color and it's subdued so the cops hopefully won't look at me twice. anyone have an extra Turbo Fender ?
