anyone looking to do a gt500 and looking for a donor car?

[thundr306]

I signed into the site to see other pictures and even ones with front end damage the hoods are open to show the damage. It doens't look like the hood or fenders have any heat damage though. I'd be interested, but not going to gamble on it.

How do the motor, SC, other plastic parts in the engine bay, and the wiring harness look like?

I meant to say that every other car has pics with the hood open, except this one.

figures... something to hide, I'm sure.

i showed you all the pics which are on the site...no coparts would not take more pics...it is just another car to them and they sell 1000s a day. one of the guys from here said he worked 5 min from there. if he has an acct with copart he can go preview the car and take all the pics he wants to his hearts content.

anyone else here have a dealer copart acct here besides me???

there is nothing to hide. think about this. if you are the guy taking pics what lever are you going to pull from a burned car to pop the hood. that is why the grill was probably yanked off to try and get to the release lever. they gave up and just took the pics they could

Yea, I assumed the same thing. I wish I had the guts to bid on it, but it's far from me and too much of a gamble. Someone may get a good deal.

I am registered with another company that bids on them for you.

 

[hotairgypsy]

but with them ya pay a fee!!!! isnt the fee like 200-300 on top of the sale price or is the fee based on the sale price?

Who works 5 mins from there? Would be great to have a first hand idea on what the engine loooks like. I just paid the $25 and registered as a "member", which I think allows me to bid, but if I'm wrong I'd sure appreciate your help!

What would you charge to do this? Wonder how much it would cost to ship this to Houston.

 

[hotairgypsy]

paying the 25 would not allow you to buy this car...from what copart told me(cuz i called to find out) would all me to bid on clean title cars. well this one is not clean title obviously so i would use my primary acct. if you are really thinking about it PM me your number and I will call ya in a bit and we will go thru the details

How do I do a country-wide search on Copart with a keyword like "Shelby", or "GT500" so I can find another salvage one?

Before I would get serious about this car I'd have to know what under the hood looks like...it would be nice to have hood and front fascia, but the motor is what I'm most interesrted in...

Do you enter your zip code, or is there a way of not having to enter a zip?

[hotairgypsy]

click on member home, then "search & bid, then car finder, the ford, then drop down mustang, 2005 start, 2009 end, then zip code, then go

The fee is only $50 on top of what Copart charges.
