Looks like someone might have "borrowed" it for some parts and then dumped it. Everyone knows that fire is the best way to remove trace that might come back and bite you.

I 2nd melted actually, I have seen a lot of fire cars and what not doing insurance work. Aluminum melts like butter in a car fire.

Aluminum is actually I fuel, once it starts to burn, it's all down hill.
The flash powder I used for this is alum based.

Would you look at that patina!!!
Mod list:
Transparent carbon fiber hood
Stage 7 weight reduction kit (new, better front end included and no radiator)
Stage 5 front suspension with super camber/toe adjustments for the "curves"
Invisible front tires

Yeah, that makes perfect sense, actually. If you guys click the link I got a bunch more pictures of it, and you can see that most of the engine is melted away as well.

And my god, look at the tire stretch on the rear! VW guys would LOVE that thing, the tires aren't even CLOSE to the edge of the wheel.

So, I take it I should bring this home and post it on Craigslist:

Previous owner was a smoker
Custom lowering kit (could use a camber kit)
NO RUST!
Extremely clean windows (but don't touch them!)
Great ventilation (see above)
Gaza-theme custom camo paint job
Some assembly required, batteries not included.

What do you guys think. Is 20k reasonable?

And powdered aluminum and iron oxide [rust] is thermate [or thermite depending on how you want to spell it] a very effective incendiary!l

There needs to be a TV show now... like junkyard wars, only 'burned car' wars. A build-off of cars that've been burned to a crisp, and the teams need to build a race car out of the scorched husk of a car.

... I'd watch it.
