Thanks for the link. I have to say, as much as I hated to see all those pictures, some of them made me laugh out loud!Yes, here's a link to it. Scroll down to 7th pic: www.westcoastclassiccougarinc.com/hall-of-shame.php . John

The million dollar question is what will it be worth/valued when restored. The NADA guide for classic cars doesn't even have a value for these cars. Therefore there must be a very thin market for these "G" cars.Strong bidding, what's this car worth as is?
To make a "wise investment" it would probably be a good idea to figure out what the car would/could be worth/valued after it's restored. If that's even possible. Then figure out how much time and money it's going to cost to restore it. Maybe it's a losing proposition at this point unless the "hottie" is included with the deal.OK, so
1) given that this car is a legitimate G, and
2) there are very few pieces of it that can be saved,
Wouldn't it be a wise investment to by this car for its vin number and title, and swap it with a car that is in much better shape? You can get a sunroof cut into it, and whatever else it needs to make it a "Hertz G".
I know this is frowned on, and I'm not trying to suggest someone do something unethical or illegal. However, How much of the original car must be used in the new car to make it a legitimate rebuild? This car looks like it needs everything. I don't see the difference between rebuilding the car around the VIN, or putting the VIN in a rebuilt car. Is there an official answer to this question?
HAHA! I have to say that for me, it's just the opposite. The "hottie" would have to stay with the car owner. At least until I get all my shots.To make a "wise investment" it would probably be a good idea to figure out what the car would/could be worth/valued after it's restored. If that's even possible.
