    It's not really that bad. The car looks straight and the engine pics look like it was well cared for. This indeed to could a great project for somebody with the knowledge and means.

    I don't know the value of the engine but, yes I was guessing similar...

    I wonder what effect the heat had on the panels? (warping)? Look like a crap load of metal work would be needed.

    As for the engine value it's a tough call. Who needs a BBi engine? Most rebuild the one they have so it's a very small market with almost zero demand.

    I would LOVE to find a neglected Boxer for $150k, but this one has too many issues.

    The fire was in the front of the car, little to no damage to the engine compartment which is unusual. Electrical fire?

    I saw this a week or so ago, thought the same thing. I have a lot of resources to make it happen..but the damage is just so extensive and the asking price is ridiculous considering what needs to be done..

    Ugh, what a waste. This guy I think will be sitting on this for a very long time, at that price.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they replaced it to make moving the car around easier.

    Was told smoke started behind the dash on the passenger side once the a/c was turned on. Either a/c blower motor or more likely fuse block.

    Whoever bought it, I sure hope they will at least run important parts like steering shaft and pedal components through a heat treatment company so the metal has identical properties compared to new.
