I wonder if all of the parts that are actually needed are available from Porsche? Let alone trying to straighten that poor thing. I can't imagine you could ever sell it for what it's going to take to put it back together.

That's a parts car not a rebuilder. It would take some deep pockets to buy all new parts from Porsche plus the labor to fix it. This would be WAY out of Gas Monkey's league (but that's not saying much for those a$$hats). Someone like LA Dismantler's will snag it up and at least triple their money on the salvageable parts that are left (engine, int, wheels, glass, doors, etc). Most 918 owners probably have more money than brains and will be breaking their cars if they drive them. Spares will be needed.

Price now at $50K.

Normally if you sell new cars in the USA you must have replacement parts for 7 years after the sale. Not sure about small volume builds.
