I think that the wiper blades are about the only thing you could re-use on that one!! And maybe the VIN no to rebirth a XRT into a F6?? Scrap metal anyone?

I find it slighty morbid that people could actully "pick apart" the final resting place of a persons death, if indeed that is the case... that thing should just go straight to the tip...

the drive shaft would have toasted the box which would have toasted the engine. ill even has a guess and say the engine has moved that far forward, that its pushed the bumper bar off with the radiator. |

I'm tipping it was rear ended by a truck, either parked or whilst moving.

Would have to be Pinkbits, horrible to see, but how else could something like that happen?
What a shame for the family and friends involved. :(

Ouch indeed.

Brakes still worth 2-3K, cylinder head, rods and possibly block would be ok There is a car full of modules (brake, crash, engine control etc) as well as a lot of undamged harnessing. I'm sure you would get more than 5K from that car. Daniel |

Trouble is finding a buyer. Not many out there would would want to buy something off a car that has that severe kind of damage. Considering the price of stuff on eBay at the moment, it could be worth it.

I meant to say in my other post: Hope there was no fatal in that car, hopefully just a parked rear-ender by a semi or such. If there was a death, then my thoughts to the family. Daniel |
