I took on a dilapidated 944/2 back in 2012. It leaked more fluids than it contained, brakes were toast, torque tube got hot when it was running, hated shifting into 2nd and not one single gauge worked. I paid $2,300 for it. Fuel lines, brake lines, calipers, steering pump, shaft, rust abatement, exhaust, A/C, FOES,…

I rescued a ’77 924 last summer that had been sitting for 16 years. I’ve not priced out a clutch yet, because fortunately mine seems to be good for now. But here’s the thing you need to remember about a car like this: There’s almost nothing for it that you can buy at your local auto parts store. It all has to come…

I’m having a hard time getting past the silver duct tape on the black front air dam. Why?

There are so very many red flags this looks like a parade in China.

This has been tracked hard. The engine, seat split, and front air dam are likely from track time. The clean rims indicate it had different wheels mounted for track day. Run away.

If the seller managed to blow the engine before 50K, how else has this been abused? And how do you get a split in the seat that quickly? Something ain’t right here. ND.

unless there’s a duffel bag with 6 grand in the trunk, this is nonsense.  Bring back the CP button...

I wouldn’t touch this if those were metric dollars. Slow, handling likely compromised, no air bag and what else? ND

There is something really freeing about having a popular classic in a trim nobody wants or that isn’t numbers-matching. It opens you up to improve it however you want without feeling like your desecrating something.

Despite liking the body style, that’s a firm ND for the cracky mods and Miata NA levels of power in a 4DR wagon for $12K.

It is almost July and the some winter potholes are still unfilled around here.

I’d say NP if the seller had it running. You want nearly $20k for it, and you can’t be bothered to buy a $200 battery to prove that it doesn’t have other issues from sitting for 5 years? No thanks. I’ll let someone else gamble for that much.

Adjusted for inflation that $800 would be something like 2 grand. The market is nuts right now, so that’s not a clean conversion of course.

It’s a little high mileage for the price, lots of church and golf club runs.

Easy NP on this one. It’s a Duc and the ST’s were most of the performance of a Ducati with a riding position that wasn’t brutal. Ducatis on paper are not the best or fastest but as a riding experience they are amazing.

Good price if you can check desmo valve clearances and replace shims if needed at home every 6000 miles. Otherwise, you’ll spend more money keeping it running through the years than how much you bought it for.

Clean your vehicle before you post it for sale, people. No dice because “It’s a unicorn!” does not compute with the layer of dirt that covers every exterior and interior surface.

Reluctant No Dice from me. That’s more than a couple of years worth of underbody rust; I think this rig’s time in Seattle might’ve contributed more than a bit to the cause.

As I’ve said in the other article about the Veloster N and other fun cars starting to drop out of the market: This is the end-result of modern day Extreme Bean Counting. (long-winded post ahead)
