Just wanted you guys to get a gander (goose) at this:
<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2405213486&category=6434" target="_blank">ebay auction</a>
This business is within a mile of the courthouse where I work. I've gone there twice for parts/work estimates and they are outrageous! The bid is at $4500 for a turbo with a blown engine and the reserve is not yet met. Amazing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

I actually don't think that's too bad considering all the other stuff that's been done to it, I wouldn't pay over $5k for it, but if you want to build a 2.8 motor and drop it in a car, that would be the one to buy!

"What you are looking at is one of the finest examples of a first year 944 Turbos available."
"One of the connecting rods is lying in the bottom of the oil pan."
How do you get those two statements in the same paratgraph

question: is the car worth USD4500.00 without the engine? probably in parts alone, it's worth it.
like danger, i would not pay over five. there was also an 89 951 engine on ebay that was around USD2950.00 yesterday and it had 58000 miles on it.

I see stupid people all the time, they're all around me, and some of them, they buy stuff on ebay.
"One of the connecting rods is lying in the bottom of the oil pan."
It may have been one of the extra ones.....
