Man, thats a nightmare waiting to happen. Sorry, LOL. Early 944s are dirt cheap...if you want to end up with a running, reliable and good day to day car, this is the risky approach.
On the other hand, if you get in CHEAP ...REALLY ChEAP, you can't be hurt IF you make the right call early when you get it.
But, as it doesn't run, you have no idea if the engine is good, (or frozen to the block, only to snap a ring when unfrozen?) or the transmission works well, (or has awful sysncros) and so on.
You have to assume the brakes are shot and might need some work, and a host of other issues that result from long term storage. (Mold, mildew, surface rust on all the undercar components, rats nests, mice in the clutch, chewed wires, corroded electrical connections and so on)
So, go in with your eyes open, and be conservative. If you see enough parts that you are sure you can sell for a conservative number, and the buy in is less than the total you can get for the parts, then what the heck. But be careful! It's easy lose a shirt on these things !
