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