Good for those looking for parts, especially drivetrain.  Pity the poor insurance agent.

Qoutes from article

Though police say the car was not registered or insured when the crash occurred, Guarini claims the car was covered under an umbrella policy and that he just didn't have the documentation available when the crash happened.


Guarini was issued a citation for driving with a suspended license and a warning for operating an unregistered vehicle. The 50-year-old claims his license suspension was due to an unrelated department of motor vehicles "clerical error."

Manual......LOL the first time I ever drove a manual was they day I bought my 55 T-Bird.

The GOOD is the car will most likely get fixed. The BAD because no insurance it will not get a salvage title it will still have a clean title. The UGLY someone could buy the car and not know the history.

I thought this was going to be a case where old Goodyears contributed.  But no, he can't even use that excuse.  The BJ listing clearly shows Potenzas.
