How much to offer for an 88 parts car?

Over the weekend I went to check out a vintage Mustang for my wife and the owner had an 88' 3.2 coupe sitting in his barn. It's been sitting since 01 when he parked it "because the transmission started ticking". The interior is mostly trash, the battery tray is rusted through and the front fenders are really beat up. I was thinking about picking it up to swap the dash and a few other parts into my 87 coupe.

That's pretty cheap and I suspect you could get your money back fairly quickly. After all the desirable stuff is gone you're stuck with the harder to sell stuff and the carcass.

Engine and gearbox are worth more than the purchase price. Buy it

HI trying to contact VVVS

Hi all, I'm a newbie to Pelican Parts boards and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to contact VVVS on the Porsche For Sale Board???

Can anyone help me out or VVVS if you see this I'm interested in the 1988 barn find. You can email me at tom@pearhead.com.

Thanks
Tom

I would be interested in the deck lid and grill if you part it.

He was obviously online this morning when he edited out his purchase price. Hopefully he’s subscribed to this thread.

The "barn find" has been offered all over the internet and touched off a storm of people trying to buy it.

Well he’s clearly either selling it on or about to. Why scrub what he paid otherwise?
What’s the new ask?

I find it hard to believe this car was parked due to some ticking in the transmission.

Interior is gutted, no dash, door panels, carpet.
And look how the engine got that dirty.
Rear speakers have rust.
Dash gauges have rust.
Door pockets are filled with silt
Frunk carpet is removed
Frunk is filthy

Looks like a flood car to me.

To maximize the flip? He’s got a FS AD and no price in it. Black 993 has asked him to post one...

Bought a Carrera 86’ “semi roller” for parts, included engine no gearbox, bough it from insurance Co., for $10k, I think it is a good deal, Mario.
