   If only people were honest Bob. At least the vin has been exposed when it does come back we'll know.


     It is about to donate the necessary numbers and paperwork to "create" its' rebirth from some "re-body" clone thing.  What does one think the current seller is counting on! And then it will be dumped into the market place for an unknowing if only casual purchaser.    >:(

If Mongo the Magnificent prints the Kripy Kritters current photos in the next registry, stick a fork in it, it's done !

"They're coming to get you Barbara."

Great obscure reference, Richard.  NOTLD is still one of may favorite horror movies. 

Johnny and Barbara were in a '66 Pontiac LeMans. 

The farm truck caught fire. The LeMans crashed its driver side into a tree.
It is also the intro on Graveyard carz latest season. Mark is a movie buff. So those familiar with the show have heard that phrase countless times lately.

Three things:
I hope the occupants were ok
I hope they had good insurance
I hope this vin does not end up on another car

I'm wondering if it wasn't in a structure fire and the building collapsed on it?

Bidding got to 5,300  The reserve was not met.  Copart is rerunning it.  So get your bids in.  Almost complete Shelby for under 10k ?   LOL

     It may not be illegal to auction off scrap, but with a reserve in excess of the obvious scrap metal value, it makes one wonder: aren't they (Copart) with the successful sale of this........thing, going to be complicit in the illegal activity of, although will be lauded as something else, but more simply and accurately described as "V.I.N. swapping"?       :o

     The legal train of thought here is as follows; in the process where one party purchases a "thing" from another for far less than the apparent true value, then the receiving party may perhaps have the responsibility of being concerned as to whether the selling party actually has legal title to such.  And failure here depending on further circumstances may get one a free ride wearing some not so comfortable bracelets on the taxpayer's dime.  So if, in this case Copart, who should be very knowledgeable as to the true market value of scrap, chooses to market this thing for a multitude in excess of its' true scrap value, who are they attempting to do business with?     ::)

Wouldn't that be the same as saying Bass Pro Shop is also guilty if someone shoots someone using a Gun they just Bought from them the day before?

    Not a all!    :)

    Now, perhaps if they chose to sell "Saturday-Night-Specials" for multitudes of their true market value, say 'on line' ('FREE' freight to L.A. or Chicago!  ::) ), with the illusion, but not the statement, that they are going to fail to process, or just loose the paperwork (ATF Form 4473), making the weapon untraceable,..............well, who do you think they would be attempting to do business with?    :-\

    It's not just the act of having sold the product that may at some point in the unforeseen future be involved in an illegal act, but rather the perceived intent of the practice in the act, and the fact of the change this may have in the business relationship and with whom.  This does prove to be somewhat of a difficult subject to define, but 'REASONABLE' interpretation is what is required, this from an educated, moral and just society, which we may be suffering from the loss of at this point.     :(

    I think, and I'm willing to bet as do many others, that the only reason someone is willing to pay something far greater than the normally anticipated value for, and that for what purpose the seller has placed the auction reserve of, is not the "scrap", but rather the added value of the............ paper-work,............ which this value is capitalized upon by doing what illegal act?!     ::)

So, as a young kid in Fort Worth, there was a guy with a red 68 who (for some unknown reason) painted "Krispy Kritter" on the back-side of the rear spoiler...much like you would see on a boat...  This one clearly deserves that moniker...
