Funding a conversion by parting out a running 911 Options

[anthony]

I keep thinking that this is the cheapest way to fund a 914-6 conversion. Am I crazy?

For example I've seen a 75K miles 911SC advertised (with a salvage title) for $10K. It looks good in the pics. So I'm thinking that you keep the engine for a 914 and part out the rest of the car.

First, what is the value of a low mileage 3L engine?

I figure you can get $1500 for a known good 915 transmission.

At that point do you sell the rolling chassis to someone that wants to make a track car or do you part it out piece by piece?

What's the going rate on a 911 rolling chassis in good condition?

Good thaoughts Anthony, Brad is right on the $10k for salvage title. I paid $6500 for an 83 SC cab w/75k miles and needing minor TLC.
If you are going to use more then just the motor, such as the front suspension, trans?,wheels,etc. Then you might be coming out ahead, but you have to buy right to start with.
