My work blocks auction sites so I can't view that page, but if it's a silver car in Georgia, it is/was SilverEIGHT's totalled car. 90% of the repairs were done before his insurance company finally decided to total it.

 

No, it's a black 8 that was sitting in a shop when the shop caught fire. The plastic panels, headlights, and glass all need to be repaired/replaced.

 

Actually it's Nordic Green... I pushed the bid up to over $1000... was at $450 when I first bid.

 

If the glass all broke from the heat (which it looks like all the rear and side glass did) that car's going to need a helluva lot more work than just the bumper and exterior plastic being replaced and a repaint.

In my experience, a totalled car is totalled for a reason. Only way I'd touch that is if were free and I was going to strip it to use it as a race car. That would be a mess as a daily driver.

 

Agreed. I was actually just interested in the engine and wheels... and since it's only one state over, I figured "WHAT THE HELL"

 

Thanks, Abbid. Poor car -- what a mess! Can you imagine what it must smell like inside? A combination of smoke and melted plastic. Uggh. I'd total that too.

 

too bad its auto

 

oh, didn't notice that ... (automatic).

If it were a manny, then strip the inteior out, mount up a cage and a pair of Sparco racing seats, a set of belts and go racing! I've never ridden in a good smelling race car before ... they all smell like burnt rubber, hot oil and driver sweat. What's a little fire residue on top of that ...

if it sells real cheap, you'd be able to salvage a lot of parts..

 

I'm not the fire marshall, but that car looks like it was set on fire with lighter fluid. A fast hot burn that was isolated to specific locations. Never seen a car fire that left the tires unburned.

 

Looking at those pictures actually brought a tear to my eye. What a great project that would be for someone.

Awww shoot...didn't realize it was auto either. Otherwise I would have suggested it as a good parts bin.

 

would be good if it wasn't an auto

 

Looks like the plastic started to melt under the hood, too. See the shroud around the hose? That's a lot of heat up front for a fire in the rear! I wonder what all else was affected!
