This car was interesting until I saw the rear damage! There will still be a lot of good parts here. It should be really cheap!

Interesting to see rear end collision damage contained.

Sort of makes this shape:

These numbers are based on an unwrecked car. They can vary wildly on old cars where overall condition throws the numbers around significantly

But not nearly as elegant.

The roof buckled too. But there would be a gold mine in little parts to strip off this car. I saw a set of window trim corners for $100 the other day. Not the long pieces just the corners! The little clips on the finishers, door locks, rear glass, badges, door sill finishers, choke cables. The SU's alone are worth $300-400. The dash looks really good if it's not a cap. Too far for me to consider, but I hate to see it go to scrap

Cool, an early '72 model with an 11/71 build date with lots of good parts.  The early '72 models have the non-retractable seat belts, blank plastic plug in the fuse box cover where the safety belt light goes starting in 1/72 and the vertical defroster lines in the rear hatch glass - tough to find nowadays.  I'm surprised that the rear hatch glass did not break!

I was surprised the hatch glass was still intact too!

Somebody needs to pick this one up.

Where is the member map these days? I can't find it...

Thanks Chris

How do you navigate to it on the site?

Almost a hundred members showing in the area. Surely someone could salvage some of this

@hiyabrad not an early car but you might know somebody who could save the pieces. Maybe a local Z mechanic who could salvage stuff
