I paid $4K for one of these, and in much worse condition. Great deal for somebody with a bent chassis.

DANG - Sure wish this wasn't on the Left Coast!

I can't believe the folks @ Devek or 928 INTL haven't jumped on this - what a profit making chance for them - from a used parts standpoint!

I think my mechanic was looking for one of these. I actually have one in my garage that will be in the same form - but I wouldn't sell it for 5 bucks. At least 500 dollars, even if the shell is an auto.

I emailed him to ask WHERE in Cali he is.

Also, if it is a clean title.

I don't see why it would have much value, even as a race car...

You can get a used 928 in bad condition, *with* all the parts, for cheap... So even though you have to strip it, you still have all the parts you will need to put it back together as a racer...Like fenders, hood, etc... If this car really is just a shell, you will have to buy all those other parts... It's easier to buy a more complete car...

If this body has been completely stripped down to bare metal EVERYWHERE then this would save a lot of grief. Find an inexpensive 80-83 Euro S, start transfering parts, and have a VERY lightweight racer. If a part is not needed for racing, don't transfer it. It's easier to control the weight if you start with a bare shell and add to it, rather than start with a whole car and remove stuff. Look at Don Hanson and Mark Kibort, they are STILL removing stuff from their race-cars to save pounds. Of course, it's not cost effective to build a street car from it.

Mike, the body of an automatic would have to be modified slightly to install a 5 spd.

We get rid of chassies like this every month if someone would like one for free. You would have to come get it.

Now theres two ideas come together. Get the bare shell AND a complete Euro. Build the one out of the other and use only what you need like Richard says. You could rebuild as you build and make a very nice race/track car. It would be one heck of an educational experice to boot. Wish i had the resources to do it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
