Default Edit** Two turbos in - interesting wreck pics on page 3
I bought Luke's 86 salvage 944 turbo from Dave in New Orleans and then came across a t-boned 87 turbo in Semmes, AL. I arranged for them to come in on the same truck - fellow named Maurice is the driver. I've never shipped a car before and certainly not two at a time. Dave's car is being picked up this AM and then the Semmes car this evening and they should deliver in Atlanta tomorrow morning or afternoon. Hope it all works out

Wow, I read that as "two turbo's" as in, two turbochargers, not two cars. Congrats on the new purchases.

BTW, does that silver one have turbo cup wheels, or are they just painted phone dials?

T-boned car is going to be parted. I wish it had 17" wheels that I could keep for my car. I do need the airbag system though as mine is throwing an error. I bought it from the guys mom so I don't really know a lot about it yet.....

Hey Chris - that would be great. Will just be at my place in Norcross. I don't know if I'll be getting the cars early or late on Saturday.
