Follow up: He is going to be in for a very long wait. Most parts are on backorder. I ordered half shafts in December and I just got the last one about a week ago. Same with a front bumper piece. I hope he is a patient man.

You are not kidding. He should have bought one with ADM , it would have been cheaper. lol.

PS: Wonder if he wants to but my hood, haha.

I concur, Jaime...I don't see how someone could bring that car back to life even with 60g's in their pocket. And then there's the crazy parts shortage that Tom mentioned.

I do hope it works out to the buyer's satisfaction.

Let's not even talk about the fact that it will be a savaged title and never be worth anything again.

Now, if it's just about clicks, views and revenue on top of the enjoyment of the project.... that's another story. That in itself will be fun.

If the engine and DCT are OK, he won't loose. But IMHO, it is foolish to try to put that car back together. Its probably better off to be parted out. Wing... wheels.... engine.... DCT.... seats... misc.

There was a guy on YouTube that rebuilt a Hellcat Challenger that had completely burned to the ground. It was crazy to try and fix it but it was all about getting people to watch the videos.

Agree.
Motor, trans, wing, wheels, dash, seats, rear seat delete, misc. parts...easy $50k+.

I was thinking of you the other day. I was laying over in your city. I hope all is well, I dont see you around here much lately.

I was wondering the same thing, George. Any feedback from Romeo on the plaque?
Hey fellas.

I'm doing well. Been busy, but do check in daily-I read a lot more than I post. :sunglasses:

The Romeo team loved and appreciated the posters we sent...

"The Niche line loved the poster today that I had mounted. It is proudly on display in their break area with all of the other Mustang paraphernalia."

I was informed that there is more to follow, which I will definitely share.

Hi George,

I agree that he more than likely won't go over the cost to buy one, it's just afterwards it will not be worth the same value, due to the salvaged title.

Rebuilding the car will be a lot of fun for them, and get a lot of people watching, which is what I think they are after the most.

Take care buddy.

As a vehicle with a salvage title, the obvious thing to do with it is transform it into a balls-out track monster.....
