The Ad said: Looks exactly like a wrecked F355, to exact dimensions and wheel base. Still starts, but tranny has no fluid. For parts or whole car. Wheels and tires are still good, minor scuffs on two of them. Clean title, wasn't reported to insurance. Built on a 85 fiero GT chassis.

Maybe I'm just easily amused, but that opening line gave me my best laugh of the week. LOL

Why does it look like it failed in a bunch of mostly unrelated ways simultaneously? It looks someone bopped it on the nose, not hard enough to crease the hood, but the bumper and headlights tried to jump to safety, the rocker panels came unstuck, and the windshield frame melted...

That seems completely plausible...

He's not asking enough. That is an "objet d'art" and it's value lies not in any facet of its "automobileness" but rather in the beauty of its destruction.

In reply to Ransom:

It's not impossible. I had model cars do that if I used cheap tube glue.

That fly steering wheel alone makes it worth whatever they are asking

That looks like it USED to look pretty good! For a fiero replica car.

Would not have liked to have been in that wreck. Still looks more survivable than a CGT wreck tho'.
