I almost cried when I went through the Ferrari section.

For anyone in the know, how easy is it really to get say a flood damaged car to full working spec? Or maybe one of those collision damaged ones?

Are any of these "fixxer uppers" worth it you think?

This is what I would take if I had the money.Vanquish

Actually some of them didn't look to bad. Now the flood damaged ones are the ones I would avoid. If you had a body shop and a little extra money and some extra time or just alot of money there are a few cars that might not be to bad a deal.
There was a Black GEN 3 RX-7 that you could probably get for a good price and then you could put a 20B in it.
Sorry just dreaming.

i wonder how much damage they really have.

i'd be REALLY tempted by one of those fds... actually i should say i AM tempted by those fds but i dunno how much they cost ("make an offer!") and how much i'd need in repairs. (some don't even start, some have no seats, etc).

ah, so tempting.

I know, I wonder what they would consider to be a reasonable offer for it? 700k or so?

I don't know if these pics have been shown before on this forum, but it's funny and sad at the same time. Sad that it was an RX-8, of course it was a sunlight silver. Funny that it was hit by a TANK...LOL

I believe they've been shown before but many others on wreckedexotics are interesting to look at. Talk about a waste:
