interesting, if you can handle the small repairs, and the belts/rollers/wpump have been done, yeah its a decent car. i have a set of brand new brown front leather seats <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> if you're interested!

Could be a wonderful bargain and a very satisfying project; could also be an endless money-pit and source of terminal frustration. Too little info without seeing it in person to make a call.

That seems overpriced. I would offer $500 if it does not sell.

The car isn't overpriced; I sold a non-running 931 for $600.00, and this seller is saying that the car runs great. Now, for how long... that remains to be seen

That having been said, I don't think it's worth much more than what he's asking right now - maybe 1150 or so. There are quite a few parts missing off that car - I'm sure someone already cannibalized it at one point.

Heck, the rims are worth half the price. If I was closer, I'd grab it.
