Its a shame to see one of these cars, well any exotic/performance car, in that state.

A lot of barns here in New England are at the end of the line. He didn't actually say the barn had a roof

HAAA ... asked if he meant 500... FWD: gheez.....i dunno. big difference i would think. At $500 i got a waiting list of 10 people for a $2000 profit. how many can i buy for that you think? a fully restored euro with 40K miles is worth 20 grand.
you do the math.

you do the math.
Did the math, full restoration of POS, $50k easy, worth maybe $20k. Much cheaper to buy a nice original car that doesn't need restoration, plenty are around less than half the restoration costs.

do me a favor, any of you with 5 minutes to spare, email the guy... ask him if he was serious about his price. He was so offended when I asked him if it was 500.00 or 5,000.00 told me he he has buyers all over the country for the car.

You cant get 20 for it with out spending fifteen.

whoever does your work and charges 15K for a resto needs to be fired on the spot.

You could never sell that for 2500 if that is what your were implying. If someone offers that take it and laugh all the way to the bank..

$2500 for a real EURO 92
8 project car.....hmmmmm...NEVER?? real 928 guru you must be eh?
I have cash buyers all over the US for that money on the real deal. just a fact. Better do your homework before you email people busting their balls.
