yikes! .......too bad there's no VIN listed

[Eric]

The seller is being very careful not to share the VIN (I asked).
Well, I looked back through my records. This same car was for sale in Sept 07, located in North Carolina at the time. I have the VIN recorded as RM23V1R239065.
Hopefully the more of these kind of cars we can expose, the fewer people will be taken by a less than honest seller in the future.

I remember this car, but not how much it sold for. Here's a couple of pics that I saved. Pretty sad sight. Man, this car was wrecked hard. There is nothing that is not badly bent or rusted! I'm really against the re-body idea. The guy obviously is not disclosing the VIN so it doesn't get blacklisted. I'm glad Eric has it, so we can be in the know.

i think i just found my next project.........just don`t know where to hide this 1 so the wife doesn`t hit the roof... ......but i really think i can fix it

I declare that car to be FUBAR

Sadly, I could probably use that car. I have enough glass and metal, but I'm in desperate need of trinkets. 90% of all nuts, bolts, washers, screws went rusty or MIA when I stored my car some time ago.

TALKED TO GUY ABOUT THE CAR BECAUSE I WAS INTERESTED AND HIS PRICING IS....$5000. FOR V CODE AND ANOTHER $5000. FOR THE OTHER CAR AND PARTS... AND SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK IS IT WORTH THE $5000. FOR THE FIRST EVER TRANSFORMER ROADRUNNER ?.............

[landon1]

imo, there doesn't appear to be much to salvage from that car....5 grand is BEYOND what it's actually worth...i paid 1250 for my satellite in pretty decent shape with a 440 that ran and drove without much body damage at all (lil rust in the quarters)...regardless of V code, GTX, etc. i don't think anyone could actually justify purchasing that car for anywhere over a grand...and that's stretching it imo

[Eric]

It's pretty obvious that he's marketing it to be a rebody, and I'd think anyone who spends $5K on it has the same intention.
At least I have the VIN info, so hopefully no one gets taken by this in the future.

Yeah, I saw that not too long ago when my dad was E-Bay cruising. That car definitely can't be saved...I'm sorry.

I love Mopars to death, but that one is definitely a goner. That makes me angry that people do this and try to sell them off as "big money fixer-uppers".
