This seems interesting. I believe it belongs to someone on here? It has some nice mods done to it. It should make a little more power though with the engine combo that what it does. Its not far off though. It would be a fun car!

Sorry Scott, but it doesn't match my white on white #01 scheme.....But thanks for the heads up :p

Actually, it does look like a very clean, very reliable and very fun car.... I think the other half would kick my *ss if I even mentioned the idea!!! But you are correct, the owner of that car has posted on here at one point or another.....
 
Seems like a nice enough car. Question: Why doesn't it have the recaro's? I thought all S351's came with them. The other concern is that it is so heavily modified that it isn't worth a normal S351 price to me. I would have at least put the right intake back on the car. My car is modified, but you can't tell by looking at it. I guess if he has the stock parts it may be worth looking into. If not, it really isn't a S351 anymore. Thoughts?

I agree. Unfortunately many of the S351's that are appearing for sale seem to have rebuilt or heavily modified engines. IMHO that depreciates their value & I would be leery of purchasing such a vehicle. Of course I'm a bit of a hypocrite because my '89 Saleen was also modified, but only via bolt-on parts; not a completely rebuilt car.
 
Quite a few S-351's have been modified or had rebuilt engines. Up till 97 you will find alot of them that have fresh motors due to the tune and the fuel system problems. I don't think it is a big deal then as long as it is stock appearing. Mine is stock appearing but, has a bullet proof shortblock and a few internal mods. The 98 on ebay if he includes all the stock parts would be an nice addition to anyones collection. I have a feeling though that the car won't go past $30,000. Not necessarily because of the mods but, because the market isn't doing great right now. That car should have the recaros in it. He doesn't show a good shot of the interior so I can tell for sure. It does appear to have stock GT seats in it though.
 
This car is in PA. My husband bought his 95 S351 he sold last year because he said he wanted black, not red. It had quite a few engine mods also. Young kid with money to spend. Into the performance and not the tradition of the car -- my opinion!!
