944 parts cars?

How much would a 944 parts car run? basically i want the the complete drive train (must run well etc.) and scrap/sell the rest.


I see some N/A 8 valve ones for 2000ish. How much might a turbo one be?

I bought a ratty 944 with a good drive train for $800, a wrecked S for $900, and I've paid 1000-1200 for a few good-running cars. a few got parted out, the last two are currently being turned into race cars.

I originally paid $1000 for the car that is my current race car- Nice shape, but not running.

Hope this helps.

Alot. You'd have to be in the right place at the right time to get a cheap turbo, as most people know they are worth more in parts. Consider that Turbo LSD's alone bring $1200-1800.

The engine itself is nothing special, as it's basically the same as an N/A engine with different pistons, and the external oil cooler. But the brakes, tranny, and body work will definitely run the parts car price up, as most people know what they are worth.

Sent you a PM. This would have to be removed ASAP.
