We've seen this car for sale before

Post by red390gt »

Here it is again, the auction ended already. Maybe someone did finaly buy this car and will put it back together.
It's been listed for sale several times over the last year or so but no takers, looks like a wholesale used car company listed it for sale on Ebay.

Yeah, what an absolute waste of a car.

The person who did that should be shot. I think the story is true just looking at the engine bay and frame rails, etc. It's probably got like zero miles on the body. If the dumbass had just enjoyed the car or put it in storage, it'd be worth 12k+. Now it's barely worth putting back together, especially if all the asc parts are gone.

There are some pics of a few in the album here somewhere...I can't locate them off hand.

Who know what the guy wound up doing to the car but if it was a pirannah, my guess is he would have kept the front clip for the "cool" factor.

That' the one that was in West Orange, last time on e bay & I tried to locate but it was all secret-secret....Now up in Montvale.

Car's garbage. Why? Cost of all the "Missing" Parts is way more than car is worth, as a whole a finished car. Now, it's a 4,000 mile parts car.

Some folks can't just enjoy what they have. 'Ya, he made it better !

This car would be good to just be shoved into somebody huge garage and wait for another asc to come up that got it's nosed bashed in.

Transfer all parts to a brand new body and go have fun. You just can't be too choosy on the interior color.

If he was asking $1500 for the car I would have bought it in a second, but by the time you add up the cost of all the parts needed to put it back together and the time to repair the items that were damaged (roll bar removal) it's not worth it. I could buy a car already done for less than the price that one would cost to finish.

If he would just install the missing suspension pieces it would help a lot. Those parts used are not much money and not a big deal to install, I could have them installed in a day if that. Then at least the car would look much more presentable and could be rolled around as it gets worked on.

Yep.

I think there were more pics somewhere with the builder at a show with the hood up. Since the hood swings up from the back (if I'm not mistaken), I wouldn't think it would be trivial to swap th old front end back on.
