Rebuilt salvage sales are all over the place. Ours are right there with clear title prices because we take the time to fix them properly and detailed to perfection.

Lots of great parts in that car.
Heated seats with the switch plate

Entire drive trail including rear wheels

Unfortunatly the trident cell is a bit bent

yeah and besides all of that - a bare minimum, it's going to need a windshield, left headlamp assembly, left front fender, left outside mirror, both seat belts, both airbags which will necessitate changing the dash, and airbag sensors plus one wheel. I bet we're talking about $5000 in parts even if you could repair the trident. Based on what he wants for the car I'd say it's not worth it. You could buy a good used for about the same price, but that's just my opinion.
