With my first 944S, I quickly determined that it was going to cost me around $20,000 to bring it from a $4,000 car to a $7,000 car. This guy has taken care of his car, but it isn't worth that much.

Now, a legitimately race-prepped base 944 could possibly be bought turnkey for that much (and the owner would have had to have sunk at least twice that much into it), and most race cars of that vintage do have salvage titles, but that isn't a race car.
