Found at LKQ, someone wanted the engine at all cost with the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
Some how with all the rust and imbalance it collapsed on itself.
There are complete late doors, transmission and front metal bumper at checkout.
Something to think about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) The preview pictures did not show any collision.
So why did it end at LKQ: donation, parking violations, abandoned, ???

Lastly, the best part it's already removed for you. Maybe they coming back for it.

@SirAndy , VIN for you, strange how the first digit is "*"

Another bites the dust, RIP

I think the * at he start of the VIN means it was a body replacement, if I am not mistaken.

if you zoom into photo and look real close it is a 4, not an *, bit of a trick of the light and dirt on the tag or windscreen.

If it's indeed 4732919269, it's not yet in the VIN database.
