Challenge Boxster? Mine

Sold. Thank you all for the interest.

I've been looking at and researching this ad way to long. Get behind me Satan.

So, ultimately, I guess the answer to the question you asked long ago is “butt terrible”

You've got mail

Any chance you could drag it with you when you come up for the mid-Ohio AER race? Drop it at my place, I'll pay you for it plus towing plus let you keep the parts you want... hmm. Satan indeed.

We'll see how bad of a bath I take on this, then I will decide. Car took a lot of trips and gave me a lot of fun.

Aw man, the only thing I have that will tow is the RV. Its gets like 8 MPG before I put a trailer on it.

I ain't saying no, I'm just saying we're buddies and I would want us to stay that way.

Replied.

Would you believe I already tried it once before I even knew about the Challenge? One I bought two years ago:

If someone buys this for the $2019, I can probably help you out with some cheap parts. ...or moderately expensive ones if you want to fix it up for a daily driver.

GLWS.

As a 996 owner and Miata lover cheap boxsters always intrigue me.  I’m in DFW.  I’d love to do the challenge in $2019 or $2020.  Seeing as this car needs engune work and knowing what porsche parts cost.....  I’m nit seeing the math.  Convince me in the math, and I come to Atlanta and tow it away with my hemi daily.  My wife has family in Atlanta.  Last time there I bought and towed home the 944 turbo of financial doom from Chatanooga.  After purchase, I figured out it had a washed title and was salvaged in 89.  At that point it wasn’t worth restoring and I lost big time.  

Convince me and it’s sold.  I can hide it in storage until my C4 is gone :).

 

I'm really tempted to drive into the eye of the hurricane on Thursday and drag this to the challenge this year.

Pm'ed you!

The guy who parts out hundreds of boxsters lives close to me. This doesn't seem like a HORRIBLE idea. Ugh I was just in ATL on Thursday!

In reply to Mental :

I need to come see your car AND your house...

Convince you that a $500 Porsche can be competitive at the Challenge and stay under the $2000 limit?  Easily. 

Convince you you can restore it using Porsche parts and shop labor rates?  No way. 

The Challenge requires a bit of outside-the-box thinking. And honestly, if you built it to be competitive at the Challenge, it would be completely undesirable for resale to Porsche lovers. 

Do you want to make money?  Restore a Porsche?  Build a Challenge car?  Choose 1.
