Anyone need a non-sunroof 85.5na shell? (Cali)
I just picked up a non-sunroof 85.5na. Here is the photo website from the seller:
http://community.webshots.com/album/530873714GFBrKY
My intent is to part the car -- it's got many things of value (LSD tranny, hatch, interior, funky early 911 wheels, suspension, etc...). Plus it'll be too much of an effort to bring the car back (needs clutch, PS leaks, oil leaks, coolant leaks, rear CV needs replacing, PO kept the seats, cracked dash, cracked windshield, no rubber left on tire, front-end hit, needs alignment).
My question is: how far do I go? If noone is going to want the shell, I'll take everything possible and let a towing company junk it. But if someone wants a shell (let's say to build a spec-racer), then I'm willing to leave in some parts (motor, body panels, crappy suspesion from another car, so forth....) -- enough parts so that you can still rebuild the car if you address the above issues (minus wheels, tranny and interior)
I'm only bothering to ask b/c a non-sunroof car is hard to find.
In fact, if someone has a use, I'm willing to say "bring a truck, some roller wheels, take the shell, take the motor, take whatever I couldn't be bothered to take off, and take it for free". The vehicle is currently in Berkeley, CA. I do occasional SF<->LA run, so I can even be convinced to deliver a little ways. Any interest, or am I parting it all the way?

I have dragged worse from the grave and it is now running, well last time I heard it was
For about a grand or so it could easilly be a keaper in the right hands. Just not mine.

Yea, I thought about repairing -- I thought this would make a good base for the 944spec car (non-sunroof seems desirable there). But I have too many cars. Plus, I'd rather focus my energy on other projects....
Let's see:
motor -- runs, but PO says leaks 1 qt of oil every 1000 miles. And he said the coolant leaked every so often. I'm thinking the head gasket needs checked as well as the oil pan gasket. It runs, but should be pulled and looked over.
tags -- clean CA title, currently registered as Planned Non-Op since the owner got into an accident one year ago.
It would be relatively easy to bring the car down south. But probably not for a couple of months, though....

Joe,
A couple months would be perfect actually. I won't have any money to do anything with it until then anyhow. Let's talk! My number changed since you picked up that LSD trans from me in Huntington Beach...I'll PM you...
