Hey Mark. I owned a 1985.5 944 for 12 years, managed to sell it with 365K miles on it for $1500 to Reggie Cummings. That was about 18 years ago! I have a bunch of 944 parts on hand and have tried to sell them on the 944 site here, but no takers. The 944 market took a beating when kids who bought them fairly cheaply thought they could go to Pep Boys and have them repaired. The cost of Porsche parts was a wake up call, let alone labor costs at Porsche shops. So many got dumped on the market for very low prices and still remain. I think if I were to get into dismantling a car for parts I would forego the 944 because so many are still out there ending up to be "barn finds" decades from now. Now if you come across a 356 or long hood 911, that's another story. Save the space and the labor. You would do better off with dismantling a Triumph TR-3 or MGA. My 2-cents on that.
