That makes me want to cry. Those photos look somewhat recent. Is that a newly wrecked car ?

Nope. All I know is it was on an auction site (I think Copart?) and it's no longer there. :dunno:

MoparMan440, yeah, it wasn't long ago.

Dude, that doesn't look too bad at all! Hech, just needs a few parts, but it appears to be all there!

 :iagree: That can be repaired without much trouble but some work. I wonder if it was a clone or a real R/T and what engine code it was.

I checked out the link before it was pulled.  It was a V code with 45,000 miles and was only bid up to 11K and change.
I hope and expect it will end up in a good home and be returned to its former glory!

It is in the end just a piece of steel.  The driver probably walked away from that.   :grinyes:

But yes, it should be able to be put back to how it was.  Never know though. I wonder how hard it got hit, there could be a lot of misalignment.  Ok, there probably is a lot of misalignment.   :lol:

Thanks for the info. 11K. seems like a decent buy for a complete but wrecked v code. Keep in mind the stuff not damaged is already restored.

Thats not that bad, esp if it's a real V code car. Most of those parts are available today in repos.
