OK, I get a call from the ex father in law about a car he has aquired. He loaned some money to a guy and got the titles to a few vehicles and the guy is now in Jail. So he calls me up to ask me to look at a Porsche the guy left behind. It is a 1984 928S that has been ditched by a woman driver. She broke something on the underside, probably the A arm and crunched the nose, front passenger fender and the spoiler. Probably the cowl panel too. I am thinking the thing may be twisted as well. Here are some pictures of it and I am hoping someone here can give me an idea of what this thing is worth. There are about 5 or 6 pictures so wait to reply till I finish. The car only has 59k on it. It is actual.

Is the car still straight? Because from the engine picture it looks like the strut bar is pushed back on the left side. A good condition 1984 928S sells for around $9000 US. I would expect this car with those damages (assuming they are repairable) would be less than $4000. Even then you are going to have a hard time finding someone willing to repair this car when they can get one that hasn't been in an accident for only a few grand more.

So, how hard would it be to cram that engine into a 914? I'll bet it would haul butt!!

Car looks pretty crooked to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
They have very little value, because they're money pits
Even if it isn't bend, it's prolly not worth it to fix it
If it is now yours (or your dad's), part it out and keep the engine for your 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Market in SO Cal, the real market where cars are bought and sold, not the asking market, is $3-5K for a good running 83-84, low miles or not. I just walked away from a running 82 for $1K because the interior was shabby and it needed paint. As for cost of ownership, ones that aren't beat are pretty reasonable to drive. Not much goes wrong with 'em, and they're not too bad to work on. Say about half as expensive to own as a 944, and maybe a little more than a 911 of the same vintage. For a big, heavy car, they go like stink. Not good when you wanna sell 'em, though ......... I wouldn't touch that one, the body panels'll take you right to the poor house. The Cap'n.

Not easy but it's been done. Do a search for Alien on this board. Tons of info. As for how it goes, I'm still waiting for my ride in it. Feel like making a trip north of the border Rich? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
