[Rot 911]

Guy I am somewhat acquainted with sent me the following email. Assuming all he writes is correct, and the car actually runs, what would you value the car at? I have yet to look at the car. No doubt it would need at least tires, battery, etc.

"I am getting ready to sell my 1989 911 coupe (black on black w/ whale tail) I haven't driven it for 3 years and it is currently mothballed in my garage. I have had this car since 2001, and have all receipts and records back to original owner purchase in 1989. Will be asking < 20K, wife wants it out of the garage. If any interest, let me know.

Only real issue is that I had a accident back in 2003 causing damage to the left front corner. Repair, cosmetically, looks great, and was done locally at the old Mc Bee's restoration. However, the geometry is off a bit from that wreck. Didn't know this for about a year until I noticed the front tires were cupped. I was told that it needed to be pulled back into place and would cost about 3K to do so...that is one reason I am selling way below market, so this repair can be factored in. Nobody in our area has expertise to do this, needs to go to St Louis, which in hindsight is where I should have taken it for repair in the first place. It drives fine, In fact I drove it for 8 years after the wreck, but it will prematurely cup the front tires until repaired properly. 144xxx miles leak down between 5 and 7 % on all cylinders, runs strong. A/C works, except for hose is blown from evaporator to drier...but I have new hose just never put it on once I quit driving it in 2011. Also I have new half shaft for right rear as boot is torn on the one on the car."
