I'm a late comer to the party; what started the fire? Seems like to nice a car to part out?

 

jesus dude, that seriously is not a parts car.

Fix the wiring and whatever else needs to be done in the trunk and drive it with some shitty paint for a while.

 

I would like to see some pics of the rear of this car. The rear bumper and taillights in general.

For all of you getting all google eyed there are some expensive parts in the trunk area of this car. The taillights are expensive if you can find them.

 

I will get pics this morning, but the rear was untouched. Most of the wiring is in tact.

 

It's not a parts car, but I am strung out with too many projects right now and would rather see it go to someone who will restore it.

 

What kind of paperwork do you have for this car. If I remember correctly you stated in an earlier post the car had a salvage title when you acquired it.

Is the car presently titled in your name. Do you know the extent of damage that originally totaled it. Was it from a wreck, theft, fire or flood damage.

Where in Kentucky are you located.

 

It has a water damage title. I have title in hand.

 

The original owner left top down and it was left out and was rained in. They people I got the car from had it since 2005, it has 63k miles on it.

I am just north of Bowling Green Ky on Interstate 65

 

If you decide to part it out I got DIBS on the front lower air dam. LOL What a shame, such a beautiful car

 

Do you know for a fact that is how it got water damage or is that the story you were told, hard to imagine that car being totaled from rain damage from top being left down. There have been a lot of floods around the area last few years. Is the car originally from Kentucky, did it have kentucky title when you traded for it.

When you post pics of rear end how about some pics of the of the out side on the side that was burnt.

 

It came from Florida and no I haven't personally confirmed the story, but it has been on the road for 10yrs since that happened. The couple I got the car from said they did talk to the original owner.

 

 

Spots on the bumper are water spots and dirt. Didn't see any problems with the back

 

Did the insurance come good? I've gone back though the posts but may have missed it.

Seems far to good to part to me too. Have you tried to get a quote to get the paint repaired (using the insurance $$ if any)? Or are you just over it?

Thanks for the updates BTW.

 

Insurance paid up very good!!! That's why I am moving on and price is low. Great car and wouldn't take too much to fix.

 

WAY too nice to part. 6 cylinder? Love the Alpine too - they look custom made for the XJS.

 

Yes it's a 6 cylinder.

 

Much too nice to part out. Wowee, if only, you weren't so far away, my budget would stand it, and I was ten years younger.....
