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).

 

Parted out my 86' 944

 

2 - 944's one early one late
1 - 87 944s
1 - 86 944 turbo

 

Zero. All of the 944 series cars ive ever owned are still alive and in good mechanical/cosmetic condition today.

 

Now everyone pay attention... "Good" is subjective term...

Both of mine are still works in progress..hence the wife's happiness level with the presence of 2 outside...

 

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)

 

2 na's and a turbo

 

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.

 

3 early 944
1 944S
1 Late 944
1 951

 

I will try to get some pictures scanned, they are all on 35mm film. It happened back in 2003 before digital was mainstream.

I have updated the running tally up to this post.

 

is that right?

ive parted two turbos, one n/a and a 924s. Saved more than that though.

 

Tally updated.
