Just titling it could be a hassle.  I would stand clear.

Fire wasn't hot enough to melt the aluminum grill.
Seems like a clean car...no paint stripping needed !  :thinking:

That was my thought also. I assume the fire was quite a while ago and sat with paint burnt off to get that rusted. Still, will be a ton of work to restore and doesn't look like much to salvage (to cover the bid). Would like to see it come back to life but certainly not by me!

$4500 for what? Nothing left worth salvaging and it`s just a 318 car, what`s scrap $ a ton?

Yikes! I don't think I'd take it for free if you delivered it!  :sorry:  another one gone for good.  :bye:

That's a tough call :thinking:
Nope, it isn't! There's not one panel on that rusted and collided wreck, that's salvageable. Note the height of the rt frt end- the torsion bar X member has gone south. Unless it had been a hemi car and someone was going to do a "miraculous resurrection" why would you put yourself through the misery? I don't care if it was the car you lost your cherry in, NOPE!! :looney:
In the immortal words of Jimmy Scott- "pace yourself!"

From what pics there are underneath actually looks pretty solid, could just be a bad torsion bar, still not worth $500 though.

Not worth it.
