That does suck - but there's also way more than $3k worth of parts left on that thing... If I had more garage space and free time I'd pick it up to part & make some cash.
Way too busy and short of space though. Plus if I move in the next couple months I don't need to be dragging more parts cars along with me.

Too bad, but it will make a great parts car. Are those sport seats under the covers?

Gon fix it with me hammer

i scrapped a non running, but undamaged 3.2C with PeterFrans and got about 10K euros out of it..
That being said, that was 06, now it's 09... i notice that parts are not being bid on as feverishly as then... The 3.2 was in pretty good condition, it had been stored on an impound lot for 9 years and it was not salvageable due to vin tags cut out by the authorities....And non running because the FI was buggered from the 9 years This one, with fire damage, will have a number of parts written off, the fuel injection for one thing, secondly, the engine parts are a question mark.. they could be worn out completely whereas the 3.2 was pretty cherry in parts, impound lot = no wear on the parts... The chassis is useless, no real racer roadmap for a targa... So this one... i guess it could fetch 6-7 K in parts, if your lucky... or just 3K if you're not I don't think it's a bargain if the bidding goes up much more from what it is now...

The engine may still be OK. A little rebuild, and hop, $4500. The car, I would clean up and prime as a nice roller, $4,000.
That is, if I had the space and the time... Aurel

He claims the wheels are 7's and 8's, but in the pictures they are clearly 6's and 7's.

It's near me, but I'll pass. A good reminder to carry a fully charged extinguisher.

My 1973 coupe looked somewhat similar the day I bought it from the auction.
It was the perfect candidate to drop the whimpy 2.4, and install the 3.2 that's in there now. no regrets! |
