The drivetrain alone in parts value is worth almost $14K. A 3.6 core is like, what, $5K nowadays and the G50 6 speed is hard to find less than $4K. OK, not exactly $14K total for engine and trans but that leaves $5K for the body. A roller 993 is worth way more than $5K!!

This is one of those things where if you don't act fast, you lose a potential steal of a deal. But if you do act fast, too fast, and find you've got a basketcase that needs a ton of work on engine, clutch, suspension, body, etc., you could end up with a real money pit. Still, you could flip the money pit (before it becomes a money pit) for a breakeven or small loss and still come out not smelling too bad......

BTW I thought the '95 doesn't have the dreaded check engine light frequency like the later '96-up cars that are OBD-II, because it doesn't have the SAI (secondary air injection)?
