Crushing a 355 chassis

This is how much I dislike selling things to the public.

I crushed a repairable Chassis (94) that I have all the parts to make right. Don’t have the time and really out of space. Tried to sell it a few times but at $3500, there weren’t any takers so RIP.

Apparently video too large. I’ll try it later but I fly to Euro tonite so might be a few days.

 

Ha ha
Plus some crook would try to sell it saying slighly damaged etc or steal the serial number.
Nice call

 

Did you section off all the sheet metal thats useable?

 

Put the video on youtube

 

No I didn’t. I have spares out the ying yang. I even had one dweeb ask me if I had records with it LOL.

It would have made a good track weapon but I have to steal any free time as it is for the foreseeable future. So not time to build let alone track. I have two boys and one who races carts and other plays hockey. I will try to put it up on you tube and get you the link. I think I’ll have to get my old girlfriend to do it. She does all my video stuff.

 

lets see it

 

This could be just the car I'm looking for.

 

I

ts now a pancake. I flattened it with a 336E excavator.

Fly out in a few hours and put the request into Mel. She’ll put it up but I think she’s keynote speaking this whole weekend.

I will pot the link ASAP.

 

This is so depressing.

 

Here it is.

My heart panged,

 

Looked like it needed to be crushed.

 

That took some balls.

 

Will that still buff out?

 

Nice

 

I don't think I understand this situation. You had wrecked but repairable Ferrari, and instead of dropping the price below $3500 or just giving it away, you chose to crush and bury it?

 

I have a very low tolerance with negotiating pricing with dummies people. I had one guy ask me if I had records. Records, with a chassis.....

I’d have paid twice was I was asking for it not to have to deal with that stuff.


How about you run a garage sale and get back to me on the joys of dealing with joes and Georgette’s

 

I'm sure many stand up people here would of been glad to take it off your hands, myself included.

 

I didn't even know it was for sale...

sjd

 

It's his to do with as he pleases.

Ill be posting photos or video of me chopping up the 95 355 chassis I have into parts. Educational at least

 

You know what, there is a lot of bashing going on. The amount of time and money it would have taken to make that chassis drivable would have been insane. Even as a DIYer you would have been into that project for a couple years, and tens of thousands of dollars in expenses. The car could have been made perfect, but then what? Then a perfectly restored 355 that went up for sale would have gotten trashed again because it was a “salavge”. Catch 22 around here sometimes. Damned if you do damed if you don’t.

So yeah, the decision to crush it was pretty good.

You are out $3500, but saved yourself uncounted thousands, frustration, and headache.

Plus, that is 1 less 355 on the planet = the remaining cars just went up in price.

 

Plus it’s only a 355.

Now had it been a 348, that would have been a real tragedy.

 

Haha


Jon if you haven't burried it yet I am interested in a part of the front end
if its not mangled anyway. PM/DM me if interested in cutting it off

thanks

 

That didn’t look like in your wildest dreams a repairable chassis. Did look like much that could have even been sectioned out and used. But why bury instead of taking it to a metal recycler? You could at least get a few bucks and we’d have less random holes filled with garbage.

 

No more garage sales for me. I did the same thing with christmas lights.
Some guy told me would i take 10 bucks for 200 dollars worth of lights.
I said 50 bucks or you cam watch me crush them.
He said why would you do that
I said because i am hopeing you will leave quicker if i crush them
Then i crushed them.

I am in total agreement with you.
Gotta luv it.

 

What am i gonna do with 10 bucks start another company.
