NOT MY CAR - just trying to find it a home.
Totally complete 63k mile Verde needs to be rescued from the crusher. I was told that the owner's wife had the cars put at the scrapyard. The guys working at the yard are very reasonable and were made to realize that it'd be preferable to have the car go to an enthusiast, so it has a short new lease on life before getting crushed. It was slotted for crushing last week but the guys working convinced the boss to wait another week.
Here's what I know:
- the car has a clean title
- the car is totally complete and runs and drives
- the car has keys for ignition and doors and fuel cap
- engine oil and coolant were clean
- the car has all its original Verde pieces except for rocker trim
- the car is very unmolested
- the car has been sitting, but obviously was well cared for before
- engine bay is complete, but dirty
- gauges are nice and brightly colored, not faded like most
- the car is rusty (arches, trunk, near lamps, some in sills)
- they want $1500 for the car WITH clear title (I'd buy it immediately if I had the room)
- very nice black headliner, not sagging, looks to be redone in Mercedes alcantara type fabric
- very nice headlights and fog lights and corner lights and taillights
- ***they WILL NOT part out the car unless someone buys the engine ($800)
- ***they WILL NOT part out the car unless someone buys the engine! ($800)
- the car is in SW Florida near Marco Island
It is worth it for the engine and trans, let alone the other bits like lamps. Perfect donor car for a Gold or Silver that needs Verde hybrid modification.
I went and looked at it and I took a few photos.
****Please read **** They asked me not to publicly post their phone number or location (seemed strange, but they have quite a bit of interest already but nobody has showed up with a trailer yet). It is what it is. Regardless I am posting to help find it a home rather than be crushed. ***PM me if you are SERIOUSLY interested and I'll happily forward the contact.
