Have the cam tower, fuel rail, and intake manifold/throttle body powerder coated flat black and you'll never know the difference!

If you do end up parting it...I got dibs on the suspension!

I think $10k is a bit too much for a fire damaged car...even if the damage is as minimal as others think.

With what you have into it, you could reepair it for far less that what you would lose.

Minor damage....just what I'd be looking for if the price was right....

This car should total though and be paid off by insurance to the owner and auctioned off at an insurance wrecking type auction unless bought back by the owner.

Similar damaged cars usually sell for 2-3k...
in stock trim without the extra's...

I'd just like to chime in and say that considering how few of these cars were built, it really should not be parted out.

C'mon guys. This is a '88 Silver Rose Turbo S. Probably the most collectible car in the 944 series. If it's as repairable as Perry says, somebody please save this car!

I've got more photos posted now...

<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2419744861" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2419744861</a>

But, how do I use HTML to make the photos appear on ebay?

Thanks,
Grant
