'99 355 F1 Spider on Copart...front end damage

See anything strange with the cluster?

 

Good eye.

 

I'm not so sure it's 7K. A little mileage malfunction......

 

Yeah, looks strange...

 

Is that enough damage to salvage the title? Or could there be structural damage?

 

Does one have an active autocheck acct cAn look it up? If not I will check it out

 

Just checked the autocheck report. Oh boy, I have not seen a car get salvaged so many times This is the second and possibly the third time this vehicle is being totaled. Its funny how the registration records specify the salvage titles. It may very well be the second time, makes no difference, it is what it is. The mileage seems to be 27K and not 17K by autocheck.com. The only nice thing is that its a CA car all its life.

Hope this helps not to overpay on it for those interested.

 

This would be a great parts car to have, if the price was right.

 

This is indeed a parts car to say the least.
Fellow members, whoever thought paying over 15-17K for this car, you may thank me later after reading the inspection report.
If you look at the driver door inside picture, notice the handle and the opening lever missing. Its the same for the passenger side, even worst, is missing the whole 4 inch wide panel that runs across from the front to the back.
I found studio rental receipts inside. This was a studio rental and people drove the crap out of this car.
Previous body work? Its been painted at least four (4) times. The front twice, the rear once left front once and this will be the 5th time if you were to fix it.
The front right inner structure needs to be replaced where the headlight mounts and possibly the right frame in the front. The interior is piece of s*****t even for a 27K mile car. The driver seat is 4 shades darker than the passenger seat although the pass seat is not clean to compare anything to.
Pass airbag is questionable. Seems like its permanent fix and there may not be a bag inside. It stick ahlf an inch out of its place.

There is just too much in question.

Hope this helps

 

Thanks for sharing that with us steve

 

If I am correct and the pass bag is a dummy, the driver won't function when u have the bag light on.

 

Put some stolen seats from a Civic and a Fiero front end on it, and you are good to go!

+1 that is kinda weird ....... the indicator needle is below the resting pin?

 

The speedos start there. Just like the rpm "rests" at 500rpm.

That needle bounced to the opposite side of the resting pin!

 

Wow, this car has been rhode harder than some porn stars! Poor car...

 

this alone should raise red flags for anyone serious to purchase.....sadly a parts only car IMO

 

Yep its rolling from 17000 to 27000 ... ??

 

I already see more wrecked Ferraris come alive..you should see what I have in My shop..

 

I have seen this car with my own eyes and believe me, this is bad. Not the wreck itself but the whole condition of the car. When I say bad, below is what I mean

This is a roadkill that has been on the side of the road and no one cared to call the humane society
This is a child the parents left alone at home since they could not care for her and left the Country
I saw the porn star comment above and yes, porn starts are in better shape than this car.
This is the last surviving pinto that has not been rearended yet Oooops, did I go too far on this one ?

Does the car run at all?.

 

Dibs on the Challenge Grille? At least THAT part should work...
