$35k ready to go.
No numbers, but it's estimted to be 450Hp-475Hp. LS1 with cam, lightweight retainers, stiff valve springs, intake, throttle body, headers.
$35k is our cost (no labor included) on the car and all the parts.
Why are we selling it? Come to LA and see the shop. We've got tons of projects. The shop is not in the business of doing these project cars either. These are personal projects. We do it. Play with it, sell it, and do the next.
I've got 6 cars, my partner has 11 (personal cars).
Next up-> '75 911 Carrera with a 3.6L & a 968 Turbo RS replica with a 650Hp V8
Oh... I've also got a super trick '82 SC with a 350Hp 3.6L TWM injected, with a 993 interior, suspension, brakes, etc... $35k if you know anybody. It's super nice too.

$35K????? parts only? Parts and labor I would guess that would be dead on.
Seems a bit high for parts/car only.
I mean you can get a solid 944 NA with a blown motor/tranny for about 500-1000 and put in V8 small block and say a nice Richmond 6 speed and all of the needed trimmings and adustments for about 10-15K. Just adding in my head.
Unless you went super high end on parts and such
What size V8?

This is not a junker 944 project car. This project started as a prestine condition 951.
The $35k includes all the upgraded:
full coil over Bilstein Escort syspension with camber plates 550/750lbs, racers edge A arms with spherical bearings, racers edge ball joints, custom spherical caster blocks, Weltmeister sway bars front/rear, rear poly & spherical joint trailing arms, custom gun drilled racing axles and oversized cv joints, Turbo S transmission with LSD and cooler, 993TT front brakes and rotors, M030 rear drilled rotors, pagid blue pads all around, new power steering rack & tie rods, Lindsey 3 piece cross over, custom radiator & fan, lightly modified full aluminum Corvette LS1 with custom intake, throttle body, cam, retainers, springs, headers, custom ECU programming, custom professionally made engine wiring harness, custom remote oil cooler, remote oil filter setup, custom oil pan, a "boat load" of conversion parts from Renegade Hybrids, 1 of a kind, 2000psi hydraulic brake assist driven off the power steering pump, odysee battery, kill switch, all a/c and heating stripped out, roll bar, sparco seats, 5 point harnesses, doors fully plasma cut/stripped out with custom door panels made (super lightweight doors now), lexan door windows with sliders, lexan rear quarter windows, lexan rear hatch, Lemans GT rear spoiler, all sunroof mechanicals stripped out with custom fixed in place fiberglass sunroof panel, all 944 head liners removed and replaced with 911 style head liner, fiberglass hood with hood pins, rear seats removed, all insulation removed and full custom black carpet installed, perfect non-cracked dash stripped/gutted, factory gauges recalibrated with custom face plates and LED lighting conversion, 930 style leather steering wheel, aluminum pedals, fire extinguisher, gt racing fixed head lights, vented nose panel, lip spoiler in front, carbon fiber rear bumper, lap timer, camera mount, lindsey 3" cat back exhaust, 4 custom 17x9" Cup 2 wheels powdercoated flat black with 275x17 Hoosiers all around, custom wheels studs, 1/4" spacers, aligned, corner balanced, new wheels bearings front/rear, new stainless braided brake lines, custom aluminum LS1 Corvette clutch and flywheel...
on and on, and on....
I've probably forgot more than I mentioned above.
The list is HUGE. The $35k figure is conservative.... not including ANY labor. And I can tell you from first hand experience.. building this car even at a shop with a lift, and lots of extra people to help, will require at least couple hundred hours of labor.
While you may be able to cut corners here or there... you are, cutting corners. Nothing is for free, and you definitely get what you pay for.
I'd love to see anybody build this car for less.

Hey Tony
Well it certianly isn't lacking any giddy yap !!!
It looks like a 951S stage 10 on Angel Dust
No small feat ( just the list of installs is mind blowing )
I must admit, tunnels and under ovepasses have always been my weakness
I have had a free flow exhaust ( no muffler, no cat.. just a supertrap since 91)
So, I never pass up an oppty to hit it while under a overpass or in a tunnel
**************************************************

That conversion is very sweet !! I have always been partial to the 968 front end
Very Sweet !!
Regards Guys

The dyno would look something like this:

......|...................................................|
2000rpm_________________________7000rpm
That is a very nice looking car, Tony. It might be tough to get 30-35k out of it, but it looks like you really did it right. Somebody will have a monster track toy that can be driven to work and home again.
Have you had any cooling issues? Did you fab some pretty good fan shrouds?

This is my friend's LS6 powered 944 turbo. Around Homested it only a hair slower than full race GT3R's, and it still has the interior and a/c. The sound as it goes by the granstand in itself is worth going to the track to hear.
