Looks like it could be repaired for not too much.

That might be the sweetest $4000 driver 951 around. Somebody needs to jump on it. If it was east coast I'd be all over it.

Oh come on, if that was on the east coast I'd scoop it up, fix it and DD it until it died (then maybe my other 951 will be drivable!)

Hey Lart, maybe you can save this one? You have a stockpile of fenders, hoods and bumpers (I'd assume). Put some straight parts on and resell it as a running car that needs a paint job. C'mon, you know ratchets have a "tighten" setting, right? Consider it karma for all the ones you've parted

Prices have fallen into the bucket. I don't think they've ever been nearly this cheap and can't imagine them getting much lower.

If it were an East coast car, I'd go get it this weekend with a better cash offer and fix it up.

Heck, if Lart will be the middle man, I'll send him the $$$ and pay him to fix it, then ship it out to Ohio.

I know I'm getting ahead of myself here but the car is definitely worth saving.

Think its the current economy? It isn't fabulous, and no one is really spending. This owner of the wrecked car just wants to get rid of it nd get a fast buck. How were 944/951 prices like 8-10 years ago?

I talked to the owner last night and I went to go find the CL post and it was removed by the owner so I am not sure if it sold, but he said he would let me know if it did.
