DAMN! they even sanded over the crest.

I was looking for what would be salvagable off the car, and the pass. door panel looks to be the only thing that hasn't been absolutely dominated!

Is that another distributer cap over there by the yellow OEL cap/ dipstick area?! WTF!

Looks like it has 3 ignition coils too. One by the Oil cap and one on the seat.

Just crush it and be done with it! I wasn't feeling to bad about it until I saw the interior! Man, what a piece of junk.

I'd say the job looks half-assed, but that's giving them too much credit!

It has a fixer-upper value of about 'free and hauled to your place.' Maybe a track car since the interior wouldn't matter anyway and paint wouldn't be such an issue.

I wonder how long it's been sitting with the sunroof partially open. Long time from the looks of it.

Opening bid is $1. Any takers?

What's the reserve? A buck fifty, maybe?

Oooo... didn't see that. I guess there might be some good bottom-end or drivetrain parts from the low mileage at least.
