i have a 512TR I am rebuilding. the key up front is to check to see that the front subframe is intact. Its fairly pricey so its good to have in 1 piece. I have some extra fiberglass fenders you might be interested in & a 512TR interior in case you need it. Koenig specials sells the front hood & bumper cheaper than ferrari |

The bent roof is what says run to me. The whole car must be bent. This one should be parted out.....that engine would look nice in my 308.... |

Heaven help the poor soul who buys this "clean NY title" car after it's fixed. It may look OK, but will it ever really be the same? They rarely are. |

What do I think? If you're asking for my opinion, it is for you to lay down until this thought passes. |

FYI. I sold my 88TR that I bought new 14 years ago, always maintained, and drove 130,000 miles with chassis rust through WWOC to a buyer who was fully aware of it's condition for $23,000. |

Silverstar is always a little on the high side. Somebody else bought a 456 from them here and that price appeard right. But then he also had access to a body shop at reasonable rates.
This car appears to be a dog. I would pay only engine value ($10K) Nothing else left really.

Run. Don't look back.

Wow not one taker saying..."oh you could turn it into a race car or part it out or fix it with TLC". The guy told me he honeslty paid $23,500 and that is his reserve. I bet he bought it thinking TR's were worth $80K..... |

Go ahead and buy it if you are into liquidating funds quickly without the possiblity of any return. |

This is a good example of a potential synergy purchase; the sum of the parts would have to equal or exceed the value of the total car.
It's not worth the effort or the cost involved....Norm |

Yeah I agree with you all. Just the lure of a cheap hot rod you know. If I was a skilled body shop guy maybe it would be a fun project, but I can't butter toast let alone spread bondo. |

...and dont look back.
the words "frame pull" are enough to make me close that window. the rear fenders are kinked, that body is all bent up. |

I shudder......
"it runs and drives excellent. Although it appears that the linkage is stuck in third gear due to the hit"
let's see
24K for the car
24K in repairs
= 48K
You can get a non-crashed one for that price.
Hell, it cost me 38k to reassemble the boxer and that was NOT in a front end collision.

Would you run from this or view it a fun project? Not sure where you can get replacement parts for cheap. Also, I am always leary of a car involved in a headon. Don't want it driving down the road with that offset dogleg look. |
