Smile Should I Buy My Complete Car and Part it?

Hi Guys

For you that have followed the SoCal Thread..

My car got a face lift.. Totaled..

Now I have a Choice to buy it before it goes to a Junk Yard.


The main link is to
https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=86865

But the last reply was to 350NOW..

It was: This

Jeff: All:

Have I thought about Buying the Salvage Remains..

Yes, It is a complete Running Car.. It's just Bent..

As you were saying.. As being the Passenger in the car..
You had an eyewitness.. The car was wide at 30mph, you looked right wondering if too close to curb. As your head came up
the Car went radicaly left. Pop. Air Bags.
The Left front Caliper locked.. ( Autopsy - by Non Nissan Mechanic ) Line to ABS had to be vented, to release Caliper. ABS Failure...

After the "freak accident" the car was still running
- that rules out the Cams being launched forward..
That the Car was turned off, by the key.. Is a good indicator
of the integrety of the power plant.

I spoke with the Total Loss Agent today.. He said to speak with the Salvage Yard - associated with the towing company assigned..

If I or Tony can tell the Salvage Yard.. Don't pick it up.. How much do you want.. Then we would have a Spare VQ35/5AT to mod...

Plus all the rest of a complete 2003 350Z to part out...

As you know I have two 1981.5 Turbo Coupes.. Stock... Licenced, Insured and running....

How about a 1981 Turbo Coupe - with a 3.5 Liter VQ35?

The Parts..............................................

Fuel Tank.. Fuel Pump
Computers, ECU, BCM, Seats,
Wire Looms, Plastic Parts,
Rear Suspension, Rear Bumper,
Cabin Vent, Bose 6CD, Correct Bose Amp, Speakers
rear Hatch and Glass.. Tail Lights.. Side Glass
A Right Head Light ( nicked ) Right Fender,
Both Doors With Glass ( no grease Streaks )
a Full Firewall back body clip that we could sell to Richard..
Sun Glass Holder.. Old Style Dash - Side Air Bags -
Seats Leather with Heaters and SRS Air Bags...
Cup Holder... Steering Wheel for Masochist's -
Pocket lint...
Two Slightly damaged Hello Kitty's
Set Of Hotchkis Sway Bars

Jeff, What do you think we can offer for this "Pile of Parts"

A 5/At with an Engine on E-Bay did not meet Reserve at $4500.

I'd give the Bone yard 2K or 3K for the privilage.. to part it out..

MY350Z All:
folks what do you suggest...?

Well, I have parted out a few of my previous cars; I can tell you its a lot of work when people want very specific items, and they live all over the country. If you are willing to swallow that kind of headache, so be it.
