TRADE: 1986 951, For sale/trade Options

[brooks944]

Would like to trade a rare version of a rare car – ’86 944 Turbo non-sunroof coupe for a nice 914. Only 25K of the 944 turbos were produced world-wide (all years) and a much smaller number (10 – 15%) came without the sunroof (called the ‘sunroof delete’ option). Same PCA owner for 12 years, all service up to date. All books and records since new, including the original bill of sale, ~$30K in 1986. PCA valuation form that I received in 10/08 had a range of $8290 to $14,970 and an average of $11,630. Multiple autocross class wins and the 2009 local PCA Autocross Champion. Would like to trade for a 914 set-up for AX/DE events or other interesting trades. Recent videos on You Tube at brooks944. Please E-mail brooks944@comcast.net for pictures and more details.

Thanks,
Rick

Yes, it has been hard to sell. I can't believe no one wants a fast car that drives around town like a Honda, but wins AX's and you drive home with the AC on. I'm sure it's the high mileage, but I won't give it away either. Need to sell and would really like a 914 AX car to replace. I actually had a buyer this year who wanted to turn it into a dedicated DE car (like suggested), but backed out due to a family issue - and that was for more than I'm currently asking. Oh well, I get to go to little Talladega next month for a DE.

Thanks

Little Talledega (TGPR) is a great place! However, learned from my 2 DEs there (or anywhere) in my 914, There isn't just enough tire without some major body mods. Cornering is great fun, and pretty high for any street car, but the performance street cars (designed in THIS century) can dust you in the stock cats,and some pretty major mods will be needed for modified class parity. Stock brakes go away really fast too, which eliminates a lot of "light-car" advantage.

Your 944 looks like you might get more wins, and almost as much grins. It doesn't have that raw, carbs behind your ears, steer with your butt feel of a 914 go-cart, but sometimes the trip home in AC coddled comfort ould be a lot nicer than the ride home in the go-kart.

C'mon through huntsville on yer way. I'll show you some fun roads!
