I actually, at one time, had that red cab with yellow interior. Chick magnet. I mean chicken magnet. NOT!

Do you already have a rear quarter replacement panel? Guy that bought my old 968 coupe shell has a wrecked one that he might be willing to cut parts off of...can't remember if his was hit in the front or rear though. I'll reach out to him if you're looking for a panel.

Thanks, is that the grey coupe? If so, Vafa has provided me some prices. He has a rear bumper and tail panel that I could use but the quarter is shot. If a different car, let me know. Thanks

You might need some of these parts and they said they will break up the lot.

Thanks Colin! I'm hoping that once the car is hooked up to the frame puller everything pulls back to its original locations 100%

Jeff you might track down the 968 in eastern upstate NY that had the front hit. They should be ready to move it by now if they still have it.

The car was a tip coupe on Hudson Valley craigslist late last summer, looked like it had been outside for awhile, they got it running and wanted a lot of money for it, then it was involved in a deer hit. I was in touch with the seller as I wondered if I could swap sunroofs - all I have is a copy of the option code sticker.

http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/cto/5637739539.html

I tried the Wayback machine, they have 6 or 7 thousand hudson valley Craigslist archival entries but apparently not this one. Maybe I am not doing something correctly though.

Jeff PM me your e-mail and I can forward the sticker for your records

Sounds like he has plans for it...eventually. So I don't think he's going to get rid of it any time soon. Sorry! I'll keep an eye out though.
