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.

Good place to go if you need parts for a kit car, at least.

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:
