Major smoke.

Engine has new everything but I think AOS has gone bad because it went from no smoke to major smoke literally overnight.. Probably something simple. This is a strong running car that has had IMS bearing upgrades and doesn't need that much work. I will also consider parting out
Suuuuure, it's the simple AOS. That's why you're willing to part out a car that needs something simple, right?

Not from CL, but came across this Boxster S for $8,000. Looks to be in decent shape- 2001 Boxster S for sale - Defender Source

LM resleeved block and a whole bunch of parts like pistons to go with it. Might be a good deal for someone with a blown motor or a spec racer.

1974 Porsche Type 181 (not a VW Thing) One of Five in the World - $185000

Looks like a VW Thing to me, even has a VW emblem on the nose in the sales brochure picture.

2000-2004 Boxster 986 Instant G muffler / Exhaust - Race | eBay

Shame it is not the whole system - headers, cats, etc.
Those tips look a bit weedy - definitely would have to weld on some bigger ones!

I'd be more comfortable with that if it just showed a picture with it covered and three feet of snow on top.

Not Boxster, nor Porsche, related, but I wanted to share something I just came across on CL.

I feel like this ad would be better if it came from Florida instead of Vegas.

https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/6066055437.html

They get an A+ just for the ad.
