Default I get a kick outta the company name

"Kim Rebuildable vehicles"..........
You only need ONE part to rebuild this car.......The part that goes under the radiator cap and everything connected to that. Then while you're at it, prolly oughta replace that cap too.

It amazes me someone took the time to put it on their website...will someone actually buy that finding something in that shell useful?

The only thing of value I see is the metal to the shredder.

I think they got it backwards:

Ext. Color : Burgundy
burnt, useable rear end.


It should be:

Ext. color: burnt burgundy, lawn ornament.

Someone could buy it for the title, then go steal one of the same year and and swap out the vin tags, then register it. Then they can turn around and sell it and make a nice profit.
