This car still floating around, there's so many threads about this car that it's become infamous.

Better off stripping it down and selling it for parts, I know I would some bits and pieces from it.

It says posts to Aus but taxes + compliance would kill ya, thats if you could even get it complianced. Would almost be worth that much just for the bits though, especially the engine.
