C'mon, Chuck. Where are you going to find a good boosting, freshly painted 951 for $3.5k. That is as much as you can expect selling it as is especially for the crowd that hangs out on these boards. I paid $4200 for the one in my pic and I think that was a bit steep for as much damage as it had (more than yours, for sure). You can get it fixed for half what I said above, but you will need to do the leg work and it might not be perfect, butt matched panels, not color sanded, yada . . ., but you have to decide what you are willing to live with.

You said the mechanicals are all tight. Really, it should be worth it, just not great resale. If it's tight, I think someone would pay $6K even with the title issue.

 

Who is paying $3000 for a 951 engine?

If it was my car, I would part it. These things are just way to wasy to come by to be driving around one that has been band-aided back together

Find yourself a really nice one, and part this one to partially fund your purchase.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do

 

Repair it .... or sell it to me...
