Here's a short list compiled of 924 dismantlers and parts dealers which might be of use for locating parts no longer available for our cars. All are currently listed as in business.

| Partwerks of Chicago has been out of business for a few years now. I looked at buying their inventory. |

Somebody has recently started back up under that name.

I should have left Partwerks off the list since I know nothing about the business since the change in ownership and move to a different address. It was included for the dubious reason of providing a source in that part of the country. The original business might have closed because of a number of dissatisfied customers.
PAP Replacement Parts, Porsche/Audi/VW genuine parts & dismantlers, in Norcross Georgia was originally included in the list since they had no complaints of which I was aware (unlike Auto Atlanta in that part of the country) but it has been removed from the list. Although they still have a dubious Web presence, I cannot now verify their address or business.
I should have added the disclaimer thatI haven't purchased enough Porsche parts to recommend or disapprove the businesses listed. |

| Partwerks went out of business because the owner (jay) died. He and his wife lived in new lennox, not sure if its the same address. All the inventory was in a warehouse they rented. The owner of the warehouse was trying to sell the inventory by renting the building out. I saw everything that was left there, nothing was worth much. All the valuable stuff was gone. |

If you call Oklahoma Foreign, ask for Gary. He knows the old stuff quite well. They have a few early 924s, a couple of 924S models and scads of 944s. The 924s are pretty picked over/have been there a long time. This is a good place.
