I'm not Gint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Add CIS fuel dizzy to the rebuild list. As well as fuel accumulator.

What color was it before black? Really at 10k and not running I would pass, but if the cosmetics are nice enough, it's worth the effort at a lower price.

Yikes! that's what I get for speedy typing while I'm at work!

It was originally orange, but the dealer painted it black. It is painted inside the trunk and door jambs, but is flaking a bit under the hood and the door jambs. the interior is immaculate and the body is pretty much flawless. I'm not sure of where to check for rust in particular like I am on 914's, but the floors seem clean. Everything is on the car, it is very complete, and the chrome trim is gorgeous.

I'd likely low ball him, document what you think it's going to take to get it running, show him the $ estimates and see if he's of the real world. Cash talks...

I'd shoot for 6k.

Buy the 914. You'll be money ahead when you get your settlement and buy yours back for salvage.

It's going to take less money to get the 914 together than the 911 by a big margin...with the way the prices are going these days and the fact that the 911 is a 75/76 I'd venture to say that not only is the 914 a better purchase now, but also a better investment in it's future value for the money you'll need to invest in it.

I told him earlier today that I am definitely going to get his 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) , which I feel like is a good deal with the money, especially since the parts it might need-i.e. brake lines/master cylinder/clean gas tank can be cannibalized from my totaled teener. the question is whether or not to get the 911 too, or to buy another super sweet YELLOW teener!
I can't wait to get my hands on that original car though!

I'm keeping his number as secret as I can until I pick up my 914! I dont want anyone stealing it from under my nose! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'll probably try to pick it up this weekend. Pictures will follow.

That sounds pretty fair. Congratulations on a reasonable outcome. What was the buyback $$ on your car?

buyback was 1700, which seemed a little steep, but still well worth buying it back

Given the size of the settlement, I don't think that was out of line.

Smart man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) When you pick up the teener, shoot me some pics of the 911??

Is this the color of the teener? Ice green Metallic...

Scratch the last, I realized I had a search button! The Zonker is amazing!, but my 6'4" frame hardly fits in a stock car, nevermind racing seats and a cage! What a steal though!
