Anybody know this one?

Interesting use of tape...pre-pinstriping prep?

 

Pretty sure that I am.

The only Green Series 1 cars that I have are:

33687, a 1980 year, sold at Barrett Jackson in 1994 and no other information. Since the year doesn't match, this probably isn't it.

41217, a 1982 car with Green exterior and black interior that a FChatter was considering buying in December 2006 and described as in "very good" condition. Not much to say whether this is or isn't the same car and a lot can happen to a car in 6 years but since the eBay car has a Florida title, it's a possibility. Do you have anything on that car, Dave?

That's it for green series 1 400i cars.

 

That's #41217 as you can see it on the picture of a metallic part of the car.

 

From "very good" to gutted in a South Florida wrecking yard...I has a sad....

 

Good day All,

Updated info and pics if anyone is interested. I would imagine that there would be a point where the parts on this car would warrant its purchase + shipping?

I wonder what's (or isn't) in the boot. Road Kill.. the first batch of buzzards really picked her guts out..they seem to have really known the most nutritious parts. Jq.

 

The wheels are worth $1000 or so if staight. The Rear parking and stop lights about the same again if complete and uncracked. The windshield is hard to guage from the pictures.

So, one could buy the car for $2000 or a bit more and break even on purchase price before long. The revenue from selling fenders, the rest of the glass and parts over time could stay in font of carrying costs. My wife would not appreciate that effort on my part, but there has got to be a breaker somewhere who will grab that when the price gets low enough. The absence of a best offer clause in the ad suggests it is not close to my numbers yet.

Absent the V-12 (unless it is in trunk) there is only pieces value in that car.

It is relisted on ebay:

I noticed this a while back & had to laugh @ the 'euro spec' description

 

This is sad beyond all belief. Hopefully the parts from this car can keep several cars on the road.

 

If there was any doubt it is now gone, as the posted pic clearly show the chassis as 41217

Cheers,

Sam
