Good luck with the sale and family Mike!

This is a nice car, if I was in the bay area it would no longer be for sale.

PHP Code:
The good thing is that both referee stations I took it to didn't know what a 944 should look like so it wasn't a problem
WTF?

Ignorance is bliss!! The last referee station I went to told me that my timing marker had been removed and he couldn't check timing(he wasn't looking in the right place). LOL! The biggest hassle I normally get is the polished intake which is stock.

Worst case, the future owner could consider buying the Vitesse adapter that uses the stock airbox (i'll include the airbox for free).

Oh...and I noticed a drop of oil on the floor this morning.
Looks like a small leak from the upper balance shaft cover but I cleaned up the area trying to isolate.
does all of the above means the price is going down?

I included the info above because I want to be 100% honest with whomever buys this car. Most folks would probably clean up the oil drip and not mention it, but that's not what i'm after. I'm holding the price firm for now but it is still o.b.o. I've been getting a ton of phone calls so far, so I think the price is reasonable. Besides, like i said in my initial post...I could really just part this out for around the same amount of money.

Any close-ups of the paint "blister"?

Also, is the crease relatively deep or more of a surface type of deal? (Ie. is the panel greatly deformed?) In the pic it looks simply like a deep scratch...

Thanks.

I'll work on getting a pic of this blister tonight. You have to look at it from an angle to see it. The "crease" in the fender is more of a line crack in the paint. You can see tha the fender bent in slightly from the impact and it left a crease/crack along that vertical line.

At this point I have two potential buyers, so I think the car may be sold. One is a Rennlister, so hopefully it goes to a good home.

White face gauges and rings came from an ebay seller.
