Oo - this is good to know! I've been trying to wrap my head as to how on earth this had happened to begin with.
Sure thing. To the points below, the car may not have had the rear quarter repainted, but I’d say it’s relatively likely. Not that it should prevent you from buying the car. These are 15 year old cars that are driving around. Things are bound to happen to them, unfortunately.

However, that is not the case. I don’t have any knowledge on the car Aviato mentioned being repainted so I can’t confirm or deny that.

You're totally right, they can come loose with or without window seal removal, which is typically done during a repaint. But in most cases it’s caused by window seal removal during a repaint. Either way I’d want paint meter readings on the car.

Correct, it’s when removing the rear window seal that rivets need to be removed. This is typically done during a repaint although with these cars getting older it could be due to a window seal replacement alone. Either way, I’d want to know more about the history.
Thanks everyone for clarifying! Wrong car in mind after a busy day.
I'm talking to the owner that won the Gooding and Company 2500 mile Grey Black RS. He said he had a change of heart and doesn't have what it takes to do the rebuild, he paid $268k and ready to negotiate. It's got 302 shrink wrapped parts/clips sitting in storage in Seattle, I have all the details and receipts ($60k in parts of which prob $25k recoverable, total build $109k)
3 New Sets of Track Wheels/Tires ($28k) + Original Set
Doors + hood are in bubble wrap
The only thing I haven't fount out is how the cage is attached if its welded or bolted, I would guess bolted given the amount of time Cantrell spent doing parts inventory, everything else is reversible and not complicated... just time consuming.
PM me if your interested and want a project... told him I wouldn't connect him to tire kickers, or non-members, as I've mentioned before the owner unfortunately passed away in Aug before he had a chance to use it.
yea it’s parked at the Hagerty club in Florida of which he offered to sell to any of them, I’m sure lots of ppl wanting to see if they can make a quick buck.
I'm actually a serious purchaser for that vehicle. Just got the DME report and posted it in a previous thread came back clean with 27 ignitions in range 1, clean PPI. My only downside is the lack of transparency and history of the car...So far theres been upgrades made to the..
Stereo (~7k)
D4 package tune up from Dundon
half cage
Ding on the rear quarter panel - facing outwards.
Cracked driver side tail light
Just not sure if I appreciate the stereo and half cage - also whats not included are the OEM exhaust and stereo..
I don't have an issue with an upgraded stereo. Esp if there is a rear camera. There's nothing wrong with cranking a little Mott the Hoople during a vigorous drive.

Ended up not purchasing this - although it has a full D4 package on the vehicle the dealer seemed to skimp out on some easy fixes that I was hoping to get done before making a deposit (cracked tail-light, paintless dent removal on rear bumper and removing the half cage), I hope they realize without the D4 package the car is sort of a wash since its missing the actual PCCB and only has yellow calipers.

Did you get an answer (with paint meter readings) on whether or not it had paint work? Just curious with the outward dent on the rear quarter.
