Everyone had that poster in the 80’s

I had a different one.. it was a red Lamborghini Countach and the license plate had “arse” on it.

Crockett's Ferraris

How the hell did a cop afford Ferraris anyway? Was it a drug money seizure thing or what?

Because it was everything that expressed cocaine and whores long before i thought cocaine and whores were awesome

Seemed like every kid in the 80’s had the poster on the wall.

The Cannonball Run Movie was probably most people’s earliest exposure to it.

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.
