Just got a stripped 97 boxster for free...

That's going to become the most expensive "free" car in the world!

And I thought I owned the most expensive 97 boxster on this board! I sure am glad to see someone else with a worse-off car than me. Misery loves company.

The stuff you need from a salvage yard will cost you at least $3-4k in my estimation. But, if you can get that car in shape for $4k and have the trunk and hood painted to match, you might just get out with an under $10 Porsche to drive around.

Problem is that you will never get your money out of it. Plan on driving it for a long, long time if you do fix it up to driveable condition.

I PM'd you about a couple of the items you need that I have in my garage.

Sounds like a fun project. Keep us updated with photos and costs along the way. It will be good to see the progress.

Good luck!

I like this idea. If you luck out, as Randall said, you have a very cheap, very very cool ride.

Bestg of luck and keep us posted; we are here to help.

One more thought for you...

If making the car into a car again is too spendy for you, part the thing out completely and make a pile of cash on it.

The instrument cluster, engine, transmission, headlamps, body parts, brake booster, radiators, control arms, struts, etc. are all worth money on Ebay as guys like me need stuff like that as ours wears out. Of course, it all depends on how many miles were put on the car.

Call Porsche Parts Heaven for some parts.
