Any want to build a Renegade Hybrid

No affiliation.... http://richmond.craigslist.org/cto/4831485557.html

I'd love to do that. But I'd never buy anything from Renegade. Texas Performance for me. I wonder, if you wanted to return it back to stock, what would an engine and trans cost?

In reply to DrBoost:

From my research i found that rebuilt M96 engines are in the 15k-20k range. With the current price of pristine 996 Carreras below 20k, that is not a route I'd take. If you could find a used engine, that might be an option.

Unless.....I wonder how much a used GT3 engine and transmission cost?

WOW!!

Hmm,no title and no tranny. Those are huge issues. The LS swap reuses the stock Porsche tranny, having to buy another one adds quite a bit of cost to the car, assuming you could take care of the title issue

Hell of a soapbox derby car though...

Sure, I'll offer him one of these:

Price in down to $6500 this morning. Looking better all the time.

$6500 would be heading in the right direction if it had a transmission. The way it sits, it's maybe worth a couple of grand at most for a part out.

I've seen them out here with a bad but still running engine for $3500...
