Apparently worth more to part out and sell the rolling tub. It's been picked clean right down to the sway bars. Good luck to them .

and the ABS pump. Even the pimpin' stereo has been snipped out of there.

Still looking at high $50's to make her a runner.

Agree fully. There's more to this poor TT's history than the ad alludes to. This pic about summed it up for me:

Masking tape with silver paint on it.

I'd love to know what happened to that poor thing before LAPD claimed ownership...

Possibly a theft recovery...I think you can avoid the salvage title issue when the original owner buys the car back from the insurance company directly and the vehicle has not been in a wreck...however, with Andreas' keen eye pointing out the masking tape...it could be much more than just theft.

This is just sad!! It could prove to be a good platform to be converted into a dedicated track car.
