I said it was a 944 is the pic a 951?

Yes. It’s an 1986 most likely but maybe a late late 1985 which there are very few of and were technically still 1986 cars with 1985 interiors. They were oddballs. You can tell by the offset of the wheels and that they are FUCHS Alloys in a deeper dish than came on the N/A 944. Also the Turbo (obvious) badge and under spoiler are giveaways. Later 951’s didn’t come with FUCHs and had similar wheel offsets as 928s and more modern 911s.

*Edit the car in your pic may be the recent 86 car that sold at auction for good money. Like $80K or $90K with low miles. I remember it had the FUCHS Valve Stem Protectors still installed which appear to be on the car you have shown.
