Possible 89 Cab Parts for Sale

[vern1]

If my 89 is a write-off, would anyone have interest in purchasing the major components. The damage is on the front and the frame was bent. However, the engine was not touched and I drove it off the road.

Major items from a car that just came up from California:
- top and bottom rebuilt engine
- G50 tranny
- turbo twist rims and new SO2 tires
- new top
- new tan leather seats
- whale tail
- etc, etc

I wouldn't want to ship things so it would be a purely come and get them sale. I should know in the next couple of days on the status of the car but just trying to gauge potential interest.

Thanks

Where are you located? I have a 89 911 and have been adding parts since I got it.

[vern1]

I am in Toronto

If you were willing to ship it would probably help out.

I would possibly be interested in the cab components to convert my targa is prices were right

[skruggs]

I'd be interested in the tail if you'd be willing to ship. My mother lives in Whitby....depending where you are in TO, I might be able to talk her into picking it up for me.

How much are you looking to get out of it?

[skruggs]

If you can post picks of the car....that would be great too!

hey Vern,sorry for your crash but I might be able to use the drive train,Iam in Pickering and left my # on your pm,Marty

I dont have prices yet as i am still negotiating with the insurance company. Once thats resolved i can get back to everyone to confirm its officially up for sale and we can talk prices. Would consider shipping for the right deals.
Thanks

Interested in the seats (champaign color?) I can pick up in Toronto

[vern1]

Looks like the sale is off as the insurance company has "readjusted" the value that they were going to allow me to buy the car for.

Thanks for the interest though

I had the exact experience with my insurance company. Would have ended up costing me almost 10K to buy the wreck. And then the pain of selling the bits.

Grab anything not tied down before you release the car. "I am just going to get my plates". Let's see, tonneau cover, tool kit, spare, jack, stereo, seats...no wait those are bolted in and might be missed.

Seriously, my company would let me take the Fuchs, if I put rollers on the car. A bit of a hassle but might add some cash to the settlement and a new ?964, ?993.

The tonneau cover they would never miss....and that's worth $300 bucks. I would absolutely take that for your next cab.....it fits on a 993 and 964.

I think vern1's experience is a good reminder to us all that the 19A insurance form is the contract to get for our older cars. This will ensure we get the appraised value in case the unthinkable happens, and not some claims adjuster's "mysterious cash value" figure. I am considering switching insurers, since PC Financial doesn't offer the 19A, but only the 19.

Vern,

What if I drive to Toronto and switch my seats with your searts (plus I pay you some cash)? Did the insurance company pick up the car?

I bought the car back and just resold it as is.
Thanks

[skruggs]

You shipped it back to LA?

[Cdnone1]

The car is sold. It was purchased by someone in Toronto.
Thank you for all the interest
thanks

He means he bought the car from the insurance company, and resold it (in Toronto) at a huge profit.

[vern1]

Wasn' that huge and I am sure you will have fun with it!!
