Wow, now that is a great source of parts!
It looks like some frame damage and the front end is a total loss.
But the rest of the car is very salvagable.
Could be a good donor for a 944 -> 968 motor conversion?

No vin, that's too bad. There could be a M030 under there.
If I was a rich man......

76 911s, yeah I just came to say the same thing, that's the car I've seen before around on the internet that was always my inspiration for me on what direction to go with my car. I'm extremely sad it's dead, on many many levels.

It was one of my favorite 968s I had seen pictures of.

I recognized it from the color, the japanese tail lights, the script interior, and the tip. My sincere condolences to the owner, if you ever lurk around this forum.

parts from the Horizon Blue 968....

black interior door cards w/handles; $400. center console w/o armrest; $150

pardon if this strikes me as a bit steep for a 20 year old totalled out car.





Arash,

just now seeing your post after i just posted.

seems we both came to the same point in Einstein's Universe.

this guy's worse than L.A. Porsche Dismantler and Joe Georgia the crook (who had to change the name of his business because he's such a crook) -- combined.

Not sure at 100% but I think this is the car before the accident ,since there is not that higth of a number of imported 968 from Japan in Canada .

I talked to the current owner, and from what I gathered, unless there are two japanese HB tip coupes with black script interior in Vancouver, it's gotta be the same car.

Hopefully he'll lower the prices when he sees the stuff ain't movin'. I mean $180 for an airbag, $700 for a dash... I have a near perfect dash I can't sell for $300.

I really want that ROW rear bumper for my car though. What do you guys think? I won't even have to paint it!

Its the same car... I'd go for the bumper. I wanted it for mine, but at that price, plus the fact it would need to be painted guards red made me decide against it. Plus, those ugly bumpers have actually saved me twice now.
