'98 550 on Copart

It's a 3 legged dog....

 

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just saw this car in November 2015 sitting outside of a run down looking body shop in Merriam, KS. The driver side fender was full of bondo. I just found this thread from Googling the VIN. I managed to snag a couple of photos but got shooed away pretty quickly.

 

it get removed ?

 

Doesn't look at the first glance as an big issue. Hope, it's back on the road again....


Saluti,

Shouldn't be too expensive to fix.

Are you close to it

 

That doesn't look too bad.

 

Sooo...where are the photos?

 

Seems worthy of some love.

 

Sorry, didn't subscribe to this thread so I didn't see these responses.

It was behind a very run-down looking body shop. Not really the type of place I expected to see a 550 Maranello. I snagged these photos, and a man came out and started speaking in Spanish and making shooing motions with his hands, so I disappeared.

I'm in Omaha, the car is (was?) in Kansas City.

It is in a private facebook group. I will ask if he is putting out there yet. I found this thread by googling the VIN trying to know more about the wreck.

Now on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284446858528?hash=item423a5a9d20%3Ag%3AK3wAAOSwMtVhEr-q&LH_ItemCondition=3000%7C1000%7C2500

 

No mention of the Carfax.......wonder why?

 

That gives me a tummy ache…

 

The body damage doesn't look that bad. Hood gaps on both sides before the "repairs" appear OK. The repairs may be questionable, but that could be remedied with replacement fender and maybe driver door. I'd look into why the front left wheel was missing in the Copart pictures and if that's indicative of possibly more frame damage sustained through the wheel than the apparent body damage shows.

 

Big money for a 550 with issues. Buyer beware.

 

Drivers front wheel appears to be too far back in the wheel opening. Not centered. Poor alignment of the bumper cover to the fender as well. Wonder if it truly has a clean title?
