    :( That's tragic. Sure hope it winds up with someone who will make it right again.

    Comes "with a copy of a US title," but only for export out of the country?

    Well, at least it's a Florida car, so it's got that going for it:)

    so its only parts anyway.

    no title may be hard to even export it.

    It does. I debated buying it when it was on copart for a month. I believe it sold for $71K so a pretty good profit if they get asking price.

    Some sites are selling the flat 512 engines for the ask price. The interior looks scary on this car, but the back half looks pretty good. Nice new engine access panel behind the seats.

    I think it's funny that they listed the mileage, like that makes any difference in the entire world I live in.

    Second time today I have heard the term "US Title"!!

    States issue titles, the DOT offers a RELEASE on the importation BOND you post, to import a Grey Market car.
    I guess no one recalls the process, from those days???

    Engine outs no longer needed for belt changes.
    Easy access to windshield washer reservoir.


    As once was said; This IS the parts car.

    Problem is the parts that are left aren't needed. Lots of valuable stuff but not much demand unfortunately. I would love the engine in my office but selling my wife on one as a coffee table is highly unlikely :).

    A 46xxx serial number should never be considered an " 84 " model year.
