jczarn Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 So I was shocked to hear my friend say that he was able to start the car and drive it around! I'm pretty sure the car cut off the fuel during the accident. By the time I got my things from the car in the tow lot, the battery was dead (probably because they left the lights on or something). My friend charged up the battery, and he started it up, and said he saw a message on the info center, something to the effect of "fuel unlocked" or something like that. He was able to drive it around the property without any noticeable issues, other than the service airbag warning (the passenger side curtain activated during the accident). Is it worth trying to sell as a whole vehicle, now that it is at least drivable? Or should I just continue my plan to sell it for parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing31568908306 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 If you have the skills and time, parting will def yield a better return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkozuback Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 We got hit by a elk. Fought tooth & nail with the insurance company. They eventually agreed to fix it..... My wife loves it and it is so rare to replace. If you want it fight to keep it. But it yes part it out will get you a lot of cash back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need the "Prancing Moose" Decals to fend off those Canadian Elk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueLeader Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Need details on the drivetrain - looking for trans to build. I also have the Nordcamp blue interior - would be interested in interior bits also. Live in CO though. Maybe post some pictures? Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of details on the drivetrain are you looking for, and how could I find that out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leefitz Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 jczarn, First, sorry for your loss! Too many idiots here in the Chicago area that just blow through lights like they are optional! I would be interested in some parts if you are parting out the car. I'm in Forest Park, so if you need any help, let me know. HU? Rear & Front bumper (if there not damaged from the accident), rear speaker grilles, front right fender (with wheel well). I have a list of things that I could use. Let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jczarn Posted July 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Just wanted to give one last chance here... car is still sitting at my family's farm up in northern Illinois. Seemed like there was a bunch of interest but when I reached out to people I didn't really hear anything back. I'm probably just going to end up driving or towing it to the junkyard since I don't have time to deal with parting it out myself. I've removed a few things but everything mechanical is still in the car. It ran fine as of last fall. Anyone interested in taking the whole heap away from me? Make me an offer. I have a few parts already pulled that I could ship - radio, headlights, climate control unit. But I'd rather sell the rest of the car in one shot. You could probably still drive it away if you put a battery in it (and drive when it's still light out :-) ) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
