Until I saw the seats, I thought they were joking about it being a McLaren.

Salvage title 1995. 122,500 miles then. Inside torn up. outside is crap. Smokes on startup. Tranny needs work. Tires are dryrotted. The 7 bids must be for a parts car!!

604473 If nothing else, it can be added to the VIN list.

"Coarse car" is right, though I think he mean "course car"

Freudian slip?

Or body tag? Plenty of Shelbys have been "rebodied". Maybe it's ASC/McLaren's turn?

I think Sandy already has the 86s.

We don't have all the 85s.

So is this a confirmed ASC?

I forgot the GPIV's were 85, see the red band along the back bumper? I thought it might be a lost one....but nope.

Sandy can confirm it I think.

Based on the seat upholstery and horn pad, I'd say it's one. Those items really never get into a non-asc.

My father had a used car lot for almost 30 years. If a car has two of the three areas in good shape (engine,driveline) (interior) or (body) it could be saved at a fair cost.If all three areas are bad its a "Rat"

I checked it out, and yes, it is / was a real full packaged unit.

The all - tell(er) in this case is the seats. NO RED PIPING.
But this car is total salvage. One would have more than the car is worth, in order to "fix it up"
