Looks like the old white/orange car repainted.


BTW we have fixed way worse. At least all the wheels are still in the right spot.

I am sure Andy in Lukfin will pick this up; anything under $50K is gravy.

Though the supercharger is gone.

Hopefully it will be taken back to bone stock; and lose those terrible wheels/paint.

I'll bet you have. As the wheels are in the right spot, might be a good track car, or alternatively, a cheap (relatively speaking) source of parts.

Looks like it is driveableas-is. No cowl damage that I can see nor any airbag deployment. Appears that 2 doors and a rt fender replacement are the only parts needed. Everything else appears repairable. That car has always needed TLC if it is the "orange whip car. Would be a great rental car. Damage wouldn't be a big deal from now on. Great daily driver too if painted back stock and get rid of those white lights and rear grilles. I bet it brings a lot more than currently offered.

Last time we saw this one the orange stripes were changed but those "awesome" front fenders were still white.

Interesting :eek idea for changing the fender colors. :wink

I didn't see the final bid but apparently it did not sell and is relisted for 5-19. Curious how much they turned down.

Knowing the history of the car, I'd bury it.:ack

The Washington car is closer to Empty Pockets in Bellingham. I wonder if it is the car that was wrecked in a Saturday morning cars and Coffee meet. I heard about it but don't know the details.

I think KMCBOSS may know about it though.

The Texas ad is one ad away from the Washington car.

Actually, it was white with orange stripes. Evidently was wrecked a couple years back & redone into that configuration. 'Rear mesh area was painted white...ditto the wheels...ditto the origional 'black' inside the headlites, and so on.

It was 'different'.
