This one also has the bikini bottom steering wheel, which is less common than the 4 spoke wheel. Will be harder to find a bikini airbag. Sincs it's an S, you'd need a 3.2 and 6 spd. These are a few of the things you'll be up against trying to rebuild this car. You wouldn't want to mix wrong parts into your restoration if you don't want to be laughed at by other Porsche owners or when you go to sell it. There's a lot of expensive parts missing on this one.

If you're still interested (against all our better judgement) and you can get an address, I'd be willing to go take a look at it since I'm in OMA. You might throw a $1200 bid at them and see what they do. Let me know if you want me to look at it.

3 spoke wheel became standard on 2000 "S" & 2001>& newer

Ya I thought $7500 for the car was maybe a bit steep, but if it could be had for a few grand I could see some cool stuff to do with it and if your not looking to put it back to stock it being all stripped apart is kinda an advantage.

I seen videos of LS motors in these things and that looks pretty cool!

I mite offer the guy a few grand for it and see what they say since it looks like the car is is fine other then being stripped and Id rather put it back together then deal with a wreck.

Does anyone know who's car this was? Maybe someone on the forum here?
