Salvage price?? $20-$30K?

Surely the undamaged engine, exhaust, wheels, tires and (parts of the) suspension are worth much more than that?

I recently bought a totaled genesis coupe from auction and got help from a close friend to fix it up, spent 9k in total to get in running, inspected, painted, etc.
This is a completely different case, spending 30, 40, 50k??? to have it running like new, you might as well buy a used one for a tad bit more

I wouldn't waste any money on that wrecked 911 unless you'll be doing 95% of the work yourself, also keep in mind you never know what other problems you'll run into, I can buy a used trans or engine for 2k for my beater hyundai, for a 911? you're screwed.

This is a donor car for a track chasis and has no value beyond this...

If you do keep and fix - hope you keep it forever and pray you don't have perpetual gremlins.

Maybe John Conner will use your car in a dystopian future to try to smash into Arnold to stop him from coming back to our time but he's too late and your car was transported back as well.

I own a large body shop and we have repaired many 911s. that is a hard hit but it could be repaired. I mean if you can get the car cheap enough it may be worth it. If you can get more pics I can probably get you a better idea.

The problem is to fix this car "right" it will be extremely expensive due to the fact that 911 body parts are costly. The lights don't look broken but Im sure they are underneith where they mount on.

The unibody will be down a bit but any good shop with the proper tools could repair it.

But you might have 30+ k in damage there not counting the air bags - even if they didn't blow the seat belt pretensioners will probably be blown.

Personally I would walk away unless you can steal it. Even then you won't be able too. 911s even hit like this go for a ton on auction sites.

Wow! That is enlightening. I have no issue with people doing this and making a buck as long as they are up front and honest about what happened to the car.
