Default Wanted: car for build

Going to sell the LS3 944 and build a SPB, looking for a car for the build. Prefer a SE car, but willing to travel for the right car at the right price. Currently looking at a few salvage cars to combine and and spare (engine, trans).

I know, I know, it's cheaper to buy a built one, but for me building it is half the fun.

I have the last 986 crate motor in North America if you want to go crazy with your build.

Check with Todd Lamb from Atlanta Speedwerks, he had donors a few months back when I was considering a fresh build.

Thanks, but I'll likely just do a refresh on whatever I find.

Any interest in a partially built SPB located in Texas? Used for DE only up to this point. Has clutch, pressure plate, flywheel and 4" underdrive pulley. GT3 and Tarett sway bars. PSS9 shocks. Comes with a factory hardtop that can be gutted. Needs a cage and the rest of the interior stripped.

Because they're too private. So private even I can't read them.

Porsche has two in Germany for $15k + core + shipping. So a fair offer based off that information would be considered. This is a true crate motor and the last in North America - it's not a re-manufactured unit.

I was half kidding that I would sell it but now that I have a couple people interested in it... I just might.
