Throwing in the towel

Well thats it. After having my 83 944 sit for almost 4 years Im going to part her out. Its sad but the $$$$$ that would be required to fix the suspension, timing belt, brakes, fuel lines, bearings etc. is not worth it. Im done.

I was able to do those things through forums/classifieds for about $1,500 and a year's time.

Aside from that, post some pictures! and where are you located?

Why not sell it complete to someone able and willing to fix it. The '83 is unique in some respects due to the fact it is the most simple of the 944 series cars.

Parting out is a headache.

Im in Townsend Ma. The Exterior is in sad shape. It has nice leather seats tho. Only have 3 cookie cutter wheels due to the previous owner blowing it up... I do however have some phone dial rims from my 924s that has been sitting in its wrecked state for 5 years. Im just tired of having 2 lumps metal in the driveway. I laso have most of the rec interior from the 924s. The interior in the 944 is a sad faded color, looks beige. Im color blind so Ill ask someone who cares about color Glass is nice all the way around. As for the coin involved in old broken porsche's vs. my other car, For $1000 I replaced darn near everything on my 1992 VW cabriolet .
