I.E. If you're really looking for garage space and a new car, I have a friend who's looking to purchase a clean C4 (or other cars, he's looking at 928s/944s too). Let me know. : )

Coincidently I went to look at what I thought was a nice 911 a few weeks ago. The car was trashed, the owner had let his teenager drive it around for a while, silk purse ---> cows ear.

In lieu of the actual cash...I will be willing to sacrifice a garage full of parts that you can use toward the construction of your dream car. I've got an air foil, a cut-filter, a partial set of slightly used spark plug wires, a stock 90 exhaust system,etc. that I can ship COD to your not-profit for a fair market value receipt of a grand or so.
If all of us here help you out we can probably come up with 75 percent of the parts you need to live a full life again.

If there will be no floor mats, then I gotta know, before I donate, if you'll be using real hardwood or one of those pergo type floating floors? I think real hardwood will add value to the car, whereas the floating floor might be easier to maintain... but since it can be easily removed, doesn't really add value.

Proof of my honorable intentions
I sense that some of you feel that my intentions are less and honorable.
As a gesture of good will and to get the ball rolling I have decided to donate my 81 to the cause. (I'll need the garage space anyway)
The first $10,000.00 I receive for this car will be deposited into the "Build Ed a Supercar" fund account.

When was the last time you donated your hard earned cash to the United Way and got anything but a mass produced thank you note? Your donations to those orgs all spent on overhead, at "Build Ed a Supercar" we have zero overhead (I'm even using this free forum to avoid the need of licking stamps), all donations go straight to my pocket and then to lingenfelter (once the $45K) is raised. Until that time I promise to periodically update you all with the progress of this very worthy cause.

So what should I put you down for?
BTW:
Would you consider taking part in our proposed fund raiser and sell a few thousand boxes of “Vette Scout Cookies”? The top seller will win a no expense paid trip to Bowling Green to behold the birth place of our cars.

Hey Why Not
I still have a few hundred boxes of "Vette Scout Cookies" left over from the last fund raiser I joined. Tried to eat the leftovers but can't quite get pass the Mobil 1 shortning they put in them. My dog loves to bury them outside with the rest of her stuff.
