I should

if I owed this car one thing…well two things I’d be grateful for

One, there won’t be an argument about “fixing it” when all I’d want to do is never see it again

two and this one is probably more debatable…there’s few miles on it. Better if it was totally new but I’d be curious what kind of money the insurance company would pay vs new.

shrimp money

It would make a fantastic drag car.

doesn't look like its that bad.

If the engine was known to be not tampered with that seems like a reasonable price. Too much of a gamble not knowing that though

Yep, if that oil cap was still on and the engine verifiably good still, this would be a fun car to tinker with. Too risky with that cap missing. I feel someone poured something into the engine, they gave that car a beating.

I’m also very curious on the back story. This is a car should be sold through copart because insurance cashed out the owner. Was it not insured?

Engro

the writing on the car is over the top. who has the time to articulate reason they are destroying the car plus have time to remove seats, etc.
i smell insurance fraud from a mile away

I kind of wonder if the seller already parted out a few items like the wheels/tires and seats. Maybe he bought it from the insurance company once it was totaled.

I'm not an expert on car restoration or repair, but I'm curious, for those who do know more about this... what would it take to restore this car to functionality (other than the obvious new paint job required)?

If I bought something like this it would never be for reselling purposes, and I'd probably intend to keep it indefinitely and drive the hell out of it, so resale value is a complete non-factor for me --- the only thing I'd be concerned about is the cost of restoring the car to driveability.

With the oil cap gone, you'd be crazy to try restore this one, who knows what went into the engine $$$. If the engine was 100%, it could easily be restored. Screw paint, polish it and throw a wrap over it, bang done.

New screen, wheels, seats, etc.
