1543 Number: 1542 From: Marquis Grove <infosyssec@y...> Date: Thu Oct 24, 2002 11:29 am Subject: Re: [ASC McLaren ] Re: Who's brave enough to buy this one?
Body:
It would probably be cheaper to find a good condition Mustang GT convertible and buy the McLaren specific parts and make your own - then to attempt to resurrect this puppy - which even its owner says needs most of the McLaren specific parts purchased " for restoration ".
And you notice he doesn't show the 'damaged' drivers side of the vehicle. The one universal fact about Mustangs ( of the Fox body type ) is that it takes VERY LITTLE impact on the front to make the cars an insurance writeoff. I would suspect that the damage to the front drivers side was sufficient to render that poor little car into a write-off. Otherwise the insurance company would have simply paid up to replace the front drives fender. But even more mysteriously the owner says that the roof cover is damaged and needs to be replaced. Rag Top ? What rag top - is there even the frame of the rag top there ?
So really the guy is selling a gutted Mustang convertible at the moment... The wreck is worth its wait in parts ONLY... and it doesn't sound like the total value of its parts could come anywhere near justifying bids at $1900 or more...
