Must....resist......


That'll buff right out.



...darn!

Why would anyone want it.

That will definitely NOT buff out.

looks like it got wrapped around a telephone pole. At the very top you can see the circular "dent" where it was wrapped. I suspect it was moving pretty quick, and may have hit other stuff before it hit the telephone pole. My guess is that the jaws of life were used and so it's probably been opened like a tin can as well.

It may have artistic value.

You could tie a skinny dog to it.

Can someone run a carfax for me...?

Is that the chassis that someone crushed, deliberately, on a video? They drove the perfectly good car right into the crusher, got out, and turned the crusher on. They left video cameras running inside the car, to capture that perspective. I think someone posted a link to the video here, some time ago.

Is this chassis worth anything besides the value of the metal? E.g. melt it down and use the metal for something else?

Salvage title.......why?

I saw that on eBay as well.


least it's a turbo...

Joke... actually wondering if they have a record of it?

There's a pic of the salvage title on the auction page, so yes there is a title. EZ Fixer!!!

As long as it has intact VIN tags and a title, someone will buy it.

Makes you wonder why. I mean, unless you have another car that's perfect but with an 'undesirable' VIN then what use would it be?

My Dad's a TV repairman.....

...... and why the hell would you want to buy something that at least 1 person probably died in!!!!!!!

Your Dad's dressing habits don't have any place here. :D

This would be the reason why -

The combo pun, nice!

If you are a very skilled body man, you can acquire/obtain/(steal) another 996 and do the VIN switch from the mess on ebay to the stolen car...

If you do the job well enough, the DMV wont go out of their way to check the Hidden VINs...

If you get caught, you simply say "I bought it off of some guy" and give them the bill of sale and plead ignorance. If your occupation is not car related, they will have a tough time prosecuting...

And your only out the money that it cost to obtain the salvage VIN and of course your time to do the switch...
