Last time I saw he only wanted $500 for it.  He still has an add up, although he never never went into too much detail on what was done to it.

Why the hell would you you put a "Good Running Car with Title" in the junkyard, Especially after all that work...

Do you have any pics of the rear? How much would they ask for the rear bumper cover? (No worries if you are interested in it yourself)

There is  no way to remove the rear bumper cover. It is glass on to the car. I sent him a text with no response.He didnt put area code and that area in Vegas has three area codes, so I tried all 3.  Just curious to how it made it all the way to California and then was junk. Motor was complete, and interior was still in car, however the two front wheels, and brakes were gone and the rear pinion cover gone too. Kinda pissed me off to see that someone just kicked in the front drivers and passenger fenders for the hell of it.

Im not interested in this car at all, except maybe for the lowering springs.

How did the interior look?

Truly a sad end for this very unique car.

i get a love/hate feeling for this car, all while feeling bad for it.. love it because someone showed true interest in doing something completely off the charts  with a fox bird, hate because i dislike the gull-wing doors greatly and feel bad because it ended up where it'll meet it's maker when they crush it..

i really wish it was closer.. i'd try to buy it from the junkyard, give it what it needs to at least roll around again and put it up for sale, so someone can truely save it.. such a shame :\

The doors looks like wings on a bird! Cool and neat, but would not want it for my personal car. I am impressed with the work he did on the fenders and rear quarters to make room for fatter tires. Do not like the low-rider look. It sits too low and looks funny with that short of wheels.

The gullwing doors are really unique. They actually only open using hydraulic pumps. The interior was mangled by the yard vultures, but was a nice black and red custom leather job. It was just crazy to see a car in an add in vegas and all of a sudden weeks later see it in a  local junk yard in Cali.

I think I could love something like that.... It just needs a flux capacitor.
