I have been wanting to find something like this for a long time. If you don't buy it let me know and I will be there tomorrow!

The owner of the salvage yard is a personal friend. Is it worth buying? possible welding anything needed and sell the car as a rolling chassis? I have a friend who is a really good welder. I'm going back today and I can take pictures. Let me know your thoughts
I wonder how many people are looking at your location (Howell) and are searching salvage yards right now trying to scoop it out from under you.

If you haven't done so already, call your friend and tell him to hold it then run down there first thing this morning with your $200.

Worst case you flip it for a tidy profit.

Looks like a perfect candidate for a Subaru swap.

Thats what i was thinking, subaru turbo swap, custom racing interior.
You can keep it cheap but still good quality and loads of fun.
I'd build it for myself ofcourse...but you could cash out quickly to be honest.

Wondering why asking about a 911 in the 944 tech forum?

Yep but I have a lot in common with 944 guys. They reason the way I do and usually have the same kind of pocket. Lol

Not that it's any of my business but you've got all sorts of personal data on that form. (Name, address, drivers licence number, etc)

You might want to remove it before some hacker creates a "new you".

Good luck with the buy.

Nice snag! I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to stumble across such a deal, though restoring that will/would be quite an ordeal. Seems to me that'd be half the fun, though...

I got to go back and check man but a couple of decent VW Sciroccos, triumph spitfire, 300zx, Saab 900s, I have go back with eyes wide open. Lol most of the stuff isn't picked clean like the 912. Howell people don't apparently drive imports. I'll try to get back over and take an inventory. What are you looking for?

Congrats on the purchase! You can't lose there.

Nice! Basically the only other guy I know of that messes with British cars around here has a TR250 sitting in his backyard (along with a couple of Herald 12/50s, Spitfires, and a GT6+, all just wasting away). We've got a couple of MGs, also (B GT and a Midget). Gotta love the old little British cars! Haha
