E55 Killed in Action!

Take a look at these pictures of a wrecked E55. This car was probably flipped over and over. I would hate to be the person that buys this wreck after it has been repaired and moved to another state with a clear title. I can not believe that they are trying to sell the car instead of stripping it and selling the parts for junk.

Anyone wanna buy a E430 so I can buy a E55?

Well I guess all you would have to replace to fix it is everything but most of the interior!!!

hehe

I want the knobs off the dash vents


It doesn't look too bad for going end over end. I've seen cars that looked almost round after that.

But it is not worth $37,5000. The leather interior and all in car electronics are being ruined by rain and weather. This car is toast! Rebuildable - Yeah Right!

It almost looks like it doesn't have a scratch on it...must have rolled over in a nice soft grassy field!!

Or maybe the former owner found out the hard way what it means to have some Chrysler components. . .

That car is a mess, I don't think that car can be restored to its original state. In addition, 37K??? plus repair cost( around 30-40000). Forget it, keep your e430. Oh here is the good idea, get that engine and put it into your e430, eheheheh just an idea, if the owner want to..

I wonder if the engine can still be saved...?
Ii could make a hell of an engine transplant
I wonder how $$$ the engine (complete with harness, accessories) and the tranny cost..?

Thumbs down

Getting it into a 400 or 500E chassis would be the easy part...getting it to run would be a nightmare with all the electronics. Only do it if you have a Phd. in electronics!!

Bet the ins co ate a chunk on that one....someones rates will go up!!

If the engine was running while it was upside down would it still be okay?
