I was browsing around copart and I found this 1991 formula that was involved in a rear-end wreck. Bidding is at $0 right now and get this... the car appears to only have 46,500 miles! I thought I'd post it up since I'd hate to see a car like this go to the crusher, and we all know the 91-92 Formulas are getting tougher and tougher to find.

The damage doesn't look too bad. I've actually got extra quarter panels and the steel for the back area if someone wanted to weld in some new sheet metal there and save it. If I had the space I'd buy that car.

doesnt look that bad.

damn, looks like you need a license to bid since it has a salvage title. i was so gonna try.

talk to a local auto body shop or something. my dad is friends with an auto body shop owner so if we wanted to we'd probably be able to get that formula. Unfortunately I'm 18 and there's no way I could have 3 cars lol.

haha yeah I have a 1991 Trans Am convertible and a 1994 GMC Jimmy as my "beater." And I'm from CT so this car is too damn far for me too lol. But with the relatively minor damage and low mileage I'm sure that this car would be able to make the trip driving on its own! probably a fly in and drive out deal.

Sweet! So are you getting it? And no nothing wrong with 3 cars, its just the cash, space, and parental approval that's required hahaha. But I'd love to own a 91-92 formula.

And considering it's a salvage auction I'm sure it'll be dirt cheap unless we'll have a bunch of thirdgen people fighting over it lol.

i wish i could get it, but cant find someone with the right license to bid. tx laws are freakin weird concerning salvage titles.

when all else fails get out a phone book start calling body shops and PLEAD FOR THEIR HELP so they can bid for you

Hey if I had any chance of getting this car I definitely would try that. It would be a shame to see such a low mileage Formula get parted out or even sent to the crusher.

thats a damn good idea. anyone know of a body shop in dfw thats third gen friendly?

Slash

not a clue, but thats what makes it an adventure grab a cold one, a reclining chair, and start making phone calls out of teh phone book, chances are you'll run into at least one or two who would be interested in making a deal

Hmmm I was wondering... do you guys think this car was repainted? Since everything under the hood, including the insides of the fenders, is black.

iTrader: (1)

I didnt even notice that, but now that you mention it....
Either the engine bay was painted black, or the car was repainted red (more likely).

I would find a salvage title car lot, I used to work at one up here in minnesota and we would buy cars off of auction for people for a fee usually only a couple hundred tops.

yeah its probably the latter. black looks better on these cars IMO

Ugh, more bad news. They changed the end of the auction from the end of May, to next week. And of course I dont have the cash at the moment for it .
