hey for $175 it is not too bad. Only down side is that it is an automatic.

Depending on what parts you need it may be a solid parts car for $500 or so.

You could turn it into a race car...

Drop in a new block from another junker, new transmission, rip out the interior, change suspension - you're done! Well maybe not but you get the picture...

The bid is what he'll pay YOU to take it, minus the floor mats, of course.

I can think of only one reason to buy this... look for a 951 tranny to shotpeen, tear out the whole driveline and convert to cheap (domestic) power.

Hm, looks like he forgot to include the picture of the nitrous bottle. It's probably in the trunk.

Hehe.. i was actually thinking about buying it for that purpose.

I seen another one on ebay that was in alot worse condition and they wanted $4000 for it!! Even though it was a turbo I didn't even pay that much for my car and it was in 10x better condition.

Sheesh. I thought my car was bad when I bought it... at least the TB wasn't broken and there wasn't any NOS crap, but it was equally rough and nasty. Maybe that car needs a chevy 350 conversion... sort of like reviving a person using Borg implants - they're not really "human" anymore, they're better in some ways but everyone would prefer to stay as a natural human. That car is dead, it needs the borg 350 total coversion and new mats.

Come on the Nos crap are just floormats. Buy the car and in all of 30 seconds they are gone never to be seen again.

Sure the car is rough, but has value as project/parts car.

Making into a race is actually more expensive that it is worth. Simply because you will need to spend alot of time and money on maintinece just to get the car running. It would however make a nice spare shell in case you wreck your race car.

PS... why do you think I have 3 parts cars!
You never know when you might need the parts

Someone in Utah, please buy this car! Since it's an early car and a similar color to mine, I would buy parts from you. I just don't have the means to get it from there to here w/o accruing subsantial shipping charges. I'd buy the hood (if in good condition) as well as some interior parts.

The wheels, coverlay and misc engine parts are worth the $300-$400 this may cost to pick up.

Yep thats why i havn't placed a bid, $800 to ship to Ohio for a car thats worth $500 isn't a good deal IMHO.

Yeah,
When I got my 924S off ebay I got it cheap, but that was only since I go drive to the guy's house locally and tow it home. If it were out of state or I needed to pay to have it moved even it town the cheapness would be lost.

So we need some in a 100 mile radius with trailer to want this thing.

If it were close to me i'd be interested except for autogear box. I have no use for one of those and the fact that I already have too many parts cars.

I can see why he's getting rid of it.
he has learned how to replace light bulbs, spray paint, and put on seat covers, oh, and can't forget the dash cover - what a project!
