Also funny that I was going to buy that car before it caught fire! I remember the email he sent me (and still have it saved I believe).

1 - '86 951. I think I would have been better off keeping it together instead of going out and buying my '87 
The good news is the '87 is becoming a documented *****.

1 - 951 S (silver rose) - totaled (ripped it in half after an air-born launch over 100MPH...)
1 - 951 S - (silver) - parted (PT Cruiser t-boned it on pass. side)
1 - 944 (gold / repainted red) - parted (I got it mostly stripped and finished the job)

Lets see. Here are the 944 line that have run through or are still in my hands
Starting from earliest
1) 87 924S - Aquired in 1991, Wrecked in 1996 (by my father no less) - Still have the car and have been robbing it for part since 1996 to support my other cars.
2) 88 944 Turbo S - Aquried in Feb 1997 - Still have it and it even has some 924S parts burried in it.
3) 84 944 "Show Car"- Aquired in late 1997 from original owner - Sold back to original owner in 2005.
4) 84 944 "POS/Race car" - Aquired in 1999 as shell for restoration or track car to use up 87 924S "good parts" - Build into track car in late 2000 - Save this one from parting or crushing
5) 86 944 Turbo - Aquired in 2001 - Father's "track car". Sold to a neighbor in 2005 (or 2004) and sold to someone else in 2007? Current status unknown.
6) 83 944 "In complete Project car"- Aquired in 2003 for parts/spares only, but I fixed a few things and drove it till I bend the chassis slight autocrossing. Repairable, but decided to part a few things. Sold engine, gearbox and a few other items. Still use the rest for spares and will keep the tub "just incase"
7) 88 924S - "Ebay fire special" - Aquired in 2005 as ebay bargain after PO had small engine fire. Local car bought for 88 pistons and short 5th gear. Car is purely for parts and a spare straight tub. Parts sold off cover the cost of the car.
So I guess you could say I "parted" 3 cars, but I did save one from scrap bin.
