And it's a shortnose Hakosuka, no less. From what I gather, 4-cylinder versions of those are very rare. Great post, @RocZX

In fact, iirc that very link has been shared a couple times here. However, it's always good to have it back as some of the cars contained there are absolutely mind-blowing. 👍

@Heldenzeit Funny that I see a C1 when I was about to post one too.

Sigh...another poor car...

At least old corvettes are fiberglass. Those cars, (at least the bodies) are completely salvageable with a little bit of love and attention

I had not seen pictures of the other side of the car. This thing is incredible.

Question, and think about it well enough. What would you do with it?

I would probably restore it. At least get it to move under its own power. It sold for over 1.7 million euros in that condition. I cant imagine what it would be worth in running, driving condition.

huh, I never thought I would see a MX-5 in such a bad shape.

 

[Fastcarguy]

Poor Miata

It's obviously caught fire. It's not just been abandoned and left to rust away.

Ok, to the point. Restore what? Did you see the condition of the car? Can you trully restore, in the esscence of the word, that car? Considering you have to literally recreate more than half the car, wouldn't it be just easy to take some measurements, make a new one from scratch and keep that one as is? I think that's what I'd ultimately end up doing. I think the car is too far gone to be restorable, and if restored, you'd end up with... too little of the car to really call it a restoration. And since you'll end up basically making a new one with the exception of... well I don't know, the metal that's still there looks pretty damn rotten too, I think it would be cooler to have one made right as it was when new, and show it with the as-is original.

Wow. Who'd have ever imagined that there's no 2nd hand market for bosozuko cars. Lol.
