looks like a bucket of problems, that being said it is cheap. whats with the engine bay though? looks almost like a fire went through there. could that just be a whole bunch of overspray?

Sanding dust in the engine bay. There are no pics of the front straight on, I would say it has been hit hard in front. Intercoolers look like that when you pry body panels off, BTDT.

That car is a heap of a project. It appears to have had at least a front end collision by the looks of the intercooler and the body panels, and possibly an engine fire at some point. For 3000, that is not a good deal imo.

There is a 1986 951 local to me, Guards Red over Black, with 97K on it for under $8000. I'm not selling it or related to the dealer. PM me and I can give you the phone number.

That looks like the flood damage car that was on eBay after Katrina. Or maybe just a look alike.

Around here, that car for $1500 as a parts car is expensive.

Hmmm.....I'd offer about 58 cents. Maybe 60 if the interior is in good shape.

Seriously though, after 2,000 in paint work, another couple grand in glass/plastic lights/reflectors etc..., weather stripping, engine parts, there's no way that car is worth more than a $1,000.
