Gathering information

I'm currently interested in finding a completely stripped 93-95 FD shell. Would prefer rust and ding free as much as possible. I do not need exterior, interior, motor, transmission, or suspension.

If anyone is interested in having one towed away, I will gladly come and pick it up within a reasonable distance. However, if one were to pay for a stripped shell, what would one be expected to pay? Thank you

Probably 1-4k depending on whats left on the car and the condition of the title. Sometimes a good shell won't meet your criteria of being completely stripped.

I'd look out on the west coast...cali, arizona, nevada etc.

I recently was willed a car from North Carolina and the thing is swiss chesse.

might have to settle for an automatic car with a blown motor

i'm guessing this is for a piston motor swap?

As the title mentions, I'm just gathering information at this time. I'm not ready to fork out money yet. I just wanted to get a guesstimation.
Also, it would be very helpful if it had a title to go with the car. I will eventually be streeting this car.

Why a 95? Pointless extra expense. Get a 93.

Unless it is a full drag car you are making a mistake buying one without suspension or interior. The cost to source good used parts or new parts will cost way more than just buying a decent roller with the suspension and interior intact and in good shape. Good rollers can be had from $5-7k all the time, if you plan to keep it a rotary, spend around $7-9k and buy a running auto car and convert it or buy a really clean rolling chassis.

If $7-9k sounds too much then I think you are in the wrong car. Someone posted on the forum recently "There is nothing more expensive than a cheap fd", and Ill be damned if that isnt about the most truthful statement ever made on this forum.

Yes, if you aren't getting the plusses of the 95 (since you want a fully stripped shell) then there is no reason to get one.

My 93 is MINT.. Cali car and never abused or has rust/dings etc. You can find a cherry 93 if you look hard enough.

You're heading down the wrong path. For your intentions you need to find a low milage Auto with blown motor or hell, with a good motor and go from there. Then convert it to manual. Won't take a lot if you know what you're doing
