I imagine that many were damaged in the northeast from Hurricane Sandy flooding... Check some salvage auction houses.

was resisting - but now that you mention it




I think posting a price range will give people an idea of "how ugly" you really mean

I bought mine for $5000 but the body is is very good shape even though it has 200K miles. The engine easn't running.

This one may be too ugly. Its in the PCA Maverick region classifieds if you are interested.

1999 911 (996)
59,xxx miles. Absolutely hammered flat beyond belief in hail storm. Mechanicals, wheels, tires good, might need the “jaws of life” to see the interior. Color moot because front and rear glass gone, most body panels are done, some assorted exterior pieces might be salvaged. Photos available via email. Suitable for some sort of conversion to club racer or demo derby vehicle. Asking $10,500 but willing to negotiate but… no poultry
