Title: Very sad ...
Post by: Cees Klumper on June 20, 2004, 14:33:09

These things happen.

Someone last year sent me photos of a wrecker's yard with a couple of very sad-looking Pagodas. Now there's on on Ebay here:

Comment from the seller (may have front teeth missing, thinks nothing of it): "There is front end damage nothing too severe."

Thats really sad indeed !

I have to laugh when the seller says "front end damage......nothing too severe " ! !

Holy crap I'd hate to see a "severe" one !!

I reckon that is a parts car !

The result on this auction after no less than 40 bids was: "US $3,302.00 (Reserve not met)"

Actually for someone with the right body skills and a love for the Pagoda they could probably turn it into a decent car. I once read where a Ferrari was 'restored' from nothing but the small section of steel with the demised car's chassis number. The owner dropped it off in a briefcase!
