Dead engine! .... "needs work" is why, you're buying a 16 year old shell.

I checked on motors when I had my Boxster. (just in case...) They were about $6k in junkyards and $10k+ at dealer. A rebuild at a local shop might be cheaper. But at that price range I bet you could do a V8. That would be awesome. I didn't know about that stuff back then. |

Check this out. I'd do it if I didn't already have a 914

That's what I was thinking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
How difficult is it to get a '76 or later year car with a non-standard (Subaru) engine smog-checked in CA? |

The engine is out of the V8 quattro. The tranny is from an A6, but the external design is identical to the boxster.
Oh, and $600 was for both the engine and tranny. |
