Crimes against humanity

[MustangO4]

In my quest for spare parts I was sent pics of a VX that was used for crash testing!! Not from a factory, but evidentally there was some sort of lawsuit going on and the LAWYERS NEEDED A VX TO SMASH so the bought this perfectly good used one and dropped things on it! Now it sits in a wrecking yard. The trans and T-case and rear end are gone, but the rest is there. I am getting more pics, but this is what i have seen so far as I was originally asking about the doors. The guy wants $2500 for the whole thing, but I think that is a little steep. You could get more parting it, but that is his business, not mine. I would only be interested in returning it to the road, topless, but I think you would be ahead of the game, financially, buying a running VX. Well, here are the sad pictures:





So the real question is who sold it for this and did they know this was it's ultimate fate???

Mustang, where is that located?

[MustangO4]

Aw hell, I was gonna sit on that info until I got what i wanted from it, but it is up in LA at some dismantler up there. I can get you his email or phone tomorrow. If you are looking for big stuff maybe we can work something for what we both want. I am looking for the three doors and the ABS.

[cyronman]

That's cool, I understand.

Yea, let me know when you get your parts, I'd like to have a look at that one.
Thanks,

Cy

It's at Tri-County Auto Parts in Santa Paula. 877-667-2787 The manager who is dealing with it is John. Good luck and if you're driving up there, let me know. I might tag along.

If you guys go look, please tell me how the tailgate looks and what they would be asking for the whole thing shipped up to Reno. I honestly want an Ebony one, but if I get another color I could just get it repainted instead of needing body work AND a repaint.

Thanks - Bart

I'm not convinced I am going to drive up to LA to get it. I really don't have the coin to do what I want and I am leaving soon anyway. I in no way have "dibs" on this and have posted the contact info. If someone is in LA, you could check this out.

I was told there are lots of "holes" in the body too where some sort of testing equipment was attached so you will have lots of holes to fill. I think John said they were mostly in the back door.

Yeah, this happened a few years ago. The member that sold them his VX was sick about what they did to it.

Here are the rest of the pics I was sent. Happy hunting gentlemen,

Seems like it would take a lot of time/money to get this VX back up and running. With nice perfectly fine VX's going for under 10k I don't think this one is good for almost anything at that price. But very interesting sad story. Wonder what the story was here. Someone sue a construction company for dropping something on a VX?

[cyronman]

Darn, Santa Paula's not exactly 'just up the road' neither.
Had I needed something in particular I might have gone, but I think I'll pass.
