NGB Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Did the car actually come up or did you get it out of the yard through the insurance company? Copart (where the car was) is the insurance auction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHV70 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 did anyone stop to think that it may have just been repainted to nautic blue, instead of originally being that color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v4lve Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Copart (where the car was) is the insurance auction... It was at salvage direct for months, if it came up on copart i guess that would that would explain why i didn't see it since i haven't been watching anything other than iaa or direct. Didn't think copart had holdings in King of Prussia PA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasts60r Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 It came from salvage direct. I feel pretty comfotable based on the carfax that this is not a canadian car. Time will tell. It's not a repaint...again the carfax shows it's an R and it's Nautic Blue. I just think it's rare :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVL WAGN Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 They clean up soooo nice too. There is a guy up here in Canada that posts on V70R.com named Bean that has a beautiful Nautic R as well. I too am interested to see if it has *C on the climate controls as well as full time DRL's too with no ability to shut them off. I had to buy a US switch to bypass them on my car. Either way...nice find!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v4lve Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Looks like a Copart ripoff Their yards look identical. i think some of the yards are leased so it's possible both auctions operate out of it, ex- Copart Syracuse shares facilities with a couple no name repo auctions as well as Copart Long Island (two yards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
