This shouldn't even be considered a "roller"... It's a shell with suspension components.

I imagine it would cost a small fortune to accumulate the parts to turn it back into a complete car and it's completeness would likely be fairly incomplete compared to a car that wasn't at some point in its existence totally gutted for parts...

Hopefully the seller found the car like this and didn't start with a complete car, cause that would be even sadder.

Whats the problem? He fairly described it and took tons of pics. I don't see an issue here.

I don't see the issue either...

Honestly looks like a fun project.

Nothing askew here. It won't be built back into a 993, but rather a race car, or a bare bones street car, or perhaps both. Vandit clicked the link expecting to find a repairable 993, and instead found a car that most would find very uneconomical to rebuild into a street car. There is nothing wrong with the ad or price in my opinion.

+993 shared with some builder I know.

too bad hes not finishing it. i like the color combo and wondered what a magnus walker style 993 would look like.

And then we have this... back dating the styling on a 993, not sure the front works.

My thread was more along the lines of how the F a 993 coupe ends up in a state where it has been stripped of pretty much all its parts and sold as a shell and the economically unviable proposition it would be to turn it back into a complete car.

I guess they're worth more money in parts than as complete cars, however unsavory that may be (from an enthusiast / preservation perspective).

Or, the project started when the underlying car was worth $20K. We know how things just kind of get pushed aside. Until you run out of room. I know of a salvage title, all-in-all pretty decent '95 Coupe (PSS10, ~90K) that the current owner is going to shop around sub-$30K.

Back to this car. If this were West Coast, I'd consider it sub-$10K, and off the Speed Yellow shell for whatever it's worth, dispensing with dealing with the quarter panel repair.
