Good to know the engine was running 15 years ago! Would rather see this parted out than end up at a derby.
If it is a SoCal car from new it could be worth saving even it does need a mechanical rebuild. More pics would tell a lot. But, yeah, at that price it is certainly at risk for being derbied.
How does such a Stunning car when "New" end-up looking like this...??? I mean, these were Expensive when New. Just kinda sad.......
I know what you're talking about, even new cars are neglected. I really do see newer cars and trucks under ten years (even seven years) old that have huge rust spots on them, or areas without any paint on them. I don't know if the owners take care of them or not but with all the rust here in Pennsylvania, yikes.
