FREE CAR in Portsmouth VA (or how you can save a Turbo)
First an explanation.
I am currently deployed in the Middle East until early summer 2016... I have a 86 Turbo in my garage in Portsmouth VA that needs to be gone by the end of next week so that renters can move in. If you can bring a trailer you can have the car FREE!!!. The car is NOT running (see below) If the car is not gone next week I will have to have it scrapped I really, really don't want to do this since it is a great looking car, but financially I can't afford to have the house empty and I currently have a 928 and another vehicle.
I bought the car a few years ago and drove it for a while, I have a clean NC title for the car, but due to poor planning on my part it is in storage until I'm back in the states, but if you take the car I will send the title as soon as I am able. (in the mean time I am happy to write up and send you a bill of sale or other proof of ownership)
About a year or so ago the car had a fire in the wiring harness under the dash, probably caused by the headlight switch, damage was minor, but the car no longer runs. I started the project of replacing the main harness for the car, the interior is disassembled and the harness is removed (engine harness is good, and still in place) I have both the old damaged main harness and a replacement harness to go with the car.
This is a fantastic parts car since it's complete and in great shape (other than the harness) or you can replace the harness and get it back on the road as soon as you get the title...
The car:
-86 951
-aprox 130k miles
-Guards Red (body and paint are almost perfect)
-Interior is complete and in great shape (disassembled but all the parts are there and dash has only very minor cracks)
-Two tone interior (black and tan)
-Seats recently recovered in vinyl and look good
-Modern high flow cat and aftermarket muffler (magnaflow I think, sounds great)
-2 sets of DME/KLR one stock, one with Autothority chips (sweet 90s tuning!!!)
-Car is sitting on 928 wheels right now with the incorrect spacing, but two of the original phone dials come with the car
-Car ran very strong before the fire, only other problem was a failing synchro on 3rd gear and the sunroof wasn't working
-Replaced rubber brake lines and new pads/rotors with less than 5k miles
I will update if I remember anything else.
If you are interested in the car please PM me ASAP and I can answer any questions and work out a time to call you (have to plan ahead since calling from where I am isn't always the easiest)
BRING A TRAILER AND SAVE THIS CAR PLEASE!
*I will try to have someone go by the house and take some pictures of the car, its super dusty as its been sitting for a year though

Thank you for your service. If you need a place to store it until your deployment ends, I could keep it at my house outside of Charlottesville. I'd be happy to rescue it and you can decide later what to do with it when not under the pressure to get it out of the garage.

I went and picked up the car this morning and now it's sitting in my garage. I am going to ask one of my local PCA friends who has an 86 Turbo if he can help me make some progress on the wiring while it's visiting. I wouldn't know where to begin but he probably will.

Put up a list of damaged/missing parts, when you determine it.
Those of us who can lend a part here or there will gladly assist.
Were I not on the opposite end of the continent, I'd lend my paltry wrenching skills.
