914World.com _ 914World Garage _ So how cheap does a 964 (911) have to be, to be a donor car?

Posted by: mikez Sep 14 2006, 04:05 PM

Local throwaway paper has a 93 964 Carrera2 for sale....Tiptronic, with leather seats, alloys, 102K miles.....

$15,999.00.

Dunno about you but that pencils out to damn near a free 3.6 engine after you part it out.....

Comments?

Will a 964 front end bolt to a 914?

BTW....the 93 3.6 is the motor I put in my SC....close to 290hp with a chip and equal length HEs......

Not sure how you are penciling that out, assuming semi-reasonable used parts prices to allow yourself to sell everything off in a matter of a few weeks or months, as opposed to taking 10 years to do it.

I don't think the front end would bolt to a 914. The 964 doesn't use torsion springs, it uses a MacPherson strut type front suspension. There wouldn't be enough room to bolt those big, wide struts and coil springs to a 914 (among other problems, I'm sure).

still too expensive I think.....not much demand for 964 parts.... I'd give $100 for the suspension

the car would make a nice V8 conversion vehicle.....

Not to mention that the brain and wiring harness is a matched set with the tiptronic.
Not sure how the brain would work without having the sensors from the tiptronic sending it love notes.....unless you plan on transplanting the motor and trans as a unit.
I think that introduces some extra issues

or you could just buy a 3.6 for around 6k....
