Non-Running Porsche 944 Worth Parting?

Is that radio an 8-track player as well?  Seems like a plain AM/FM radio only from the factory; where's the eject button?

Don't you just pull 8-track tapes out?

I love this thread.

Massive grain of salt to take with this one, but I believe GM radios had an eject button, per searches and stuff which lead to results like this;

It's an aftermarket 8-track player. Note the numbers 1-2-3-4 at top left. 

I liked the Nine Faux Faux, I like this C10 even more.

I'm willing to trade for a motorcycle (I can fit one more in the garage perpendicular to the others), Porsche 914 (Non-running with standard rust. Nobody will notice another 914 in the yard), or really awesome car that would otherwise be outside Challenge budget (Worth making room for).  Since you know I was asking $900 for the Nine Faux Faux, I suppose I'd be willing to take that much in cash from a GRMer, but don't tell everyone else. Levi promised me there will be a title for it soon and I promise You that when I get a title from Levi, I'll sign it over to the buyer/trader.

The VIN says '78 1/2 ton, 350 engine, made in Flint. 13 digits: CCL448F451268.

I found nearly the same 8 track player on eBay after noticing it's an Audiovox: https://www.ebay.com/itm/114753109543?hash=item1ab7d17e27:g:ztcAAOSw7~VgahhZ If I pull it out of the truck before it sells, I'll probably send it out along with the tape in the next GRM New Year's Game.

... Wheel choices for my narrow '71 914 are pretty limited. ...

Trying to keep it original and worrying about value, these would not be the wheels. My black one will stay mostly stock and wear original Mahle wheels. The yellow one that is placarded as Zambezi Green is an open palette to crop and paste to with no worries. I'm thinking 'Safari' will be fun and Hot Wheels made a template. Yes to wide fenders. Probably even wider spacers and some mud tires.

Rounded wheel arches look very good on these cars. 

My older brother was an 8-Track guy back in the 70s and I ended up with a bunch of his crap when he moved out.
 

White tapes weren't all that common. Of the white ones that I can remember were at least one by Steely Dan (he had them all), Chicago-something, maybe The Best of Bread, Loggins and Messina and possibly one from the Allman Brothers. 
 

8-Track was a really annoying format. 

Currently considering a 2000 Honda CBR 600 F4 plus cash. I think I may do it. The cash is about the bottom dollar of what I'd have taken for the Porsche. It's a Very rough looking bike, but the truck is pretty rough too at this point. He is "waiting for his aunt to bring him the title." ...and I'm waiting for Levi to bring me a title. Pretty sketchy on both ends. Of course I should be patient and hold out for a cash buyer. Mrs AAZCD will be very happy when the truck is out of the yard. She already said, "No more motorcycles."  I can hide the bike under an old car cover until... I should buy her some flowers.

You can do way better than that bike. 

Yeah if it's not a 900cc or more, no deal. You're going to want at least a 900 to swap into a Lada or Trablant for challenge purposes.

I thought that I had the truck sold a few days ago to a cash buyer. He was going to rebuild it with his 15 year old son who would have it as his first car (truck). When he was looking at it we found that there was intermix in the oil. Just coolant in the oil and not oil in the radiator. When we saw that, he was still fine about buying it and I was fine with taking less money. BUT when he told his wife about it, somehow the answer became, "Sorry, we're going to have to keep looking..."

It occurred to me that when I first saw the truck, I had checked the fluids before running it and they looked good. Checking it now, the dipstick looks good except for a few drops of residue. I should have looked at the oil *After* running it. I was in a hurry and just wanted to be done with the Rat-eaten Nine Faux Faux.

Until the middle of August, I have zero time available for car stuff (except for finishing stripping out and scrapping a Boxster and repairing the power steering in another Boxster for a friend). I'm hopeful that the intermix is due to a poorly installed intake and not a head. For now, the truck will be a lawn ornament. In late August-September I'll probably put a day or two into checking it over and see if I want to make it a ...project.

Please look at better motorcycles if it comes to that sort of situation again.  Please.

I have a hunch that it won't take much money to fix the coolant-in-oil issue.  

Is there milkshake residue inside the oil filler cap? Maybe it's just condensation of crankcase vapors that it hasn't run long enough to burn off?
