Anyone know who owned this one (warning 32 Vicky carnage inside)

That wasn't a real hot fire. LS motors from burned-out trucks are one of the best deals in the junkyards today. The shine isn't off the valve covers and headers.

For junkyard burns, the plastic intakes, computers and wiring harness are gone, but the rest cleans up nicely.

The combustion in the cylinder heads is hotter than paint and plastic burning. Once a car's thin sheetmetal starts to melt away and the gl*** begins to melt, that's a different story.

Reserve has been met on that 34 at $20K
Looks like an easy fix!

 

None of the gas went into the car, it just burned under it, the floor still has shiny paint on the bottom. The interior melted,carpet looks new under all of the garbage,still has antifreeze in the radiator, engine is not hurt, probably won't even need an oil change. I powered up the electronics, has 1333 miles on it. Other than the damage to the bustle, frame, and some burnt electrical wiring from the short in the system caused by the impact, it will be an easy fix. The buy of a life time. It was a Brizio built car, its on his site under past projects. Bob Edlefson's 32 vicky

 

So, apparently you bought it?

 

Keep us updated.After seeing the youtube wreck video we would love to see it on the street again.

 

What did it sell for?

 

That's great news. It's good that the car will live another day. It looks like a great buy if you were the lucky guy who got it. Any car that Brizio builds is a quality piece.

 

Nice that your fixing it looks like the frame was not boxed........Maybe thats why the tank got hit.............

 

It's mine now, sold for 15.2k. the frame was boxed all the way to the tails, p*** side rear rail is twisted will have to be cut off at the reveal area and replaced, driver side will just need the horn replaced. the rear coil over crossmember is bowed forward about an inch and will need to be replaced too. I cleaned off the burnt bondo from the p*** side and there was DP-90 under some of it.

 

Were you watching it before I posted the auction site here?

I looked you up here after seeing the buyer name. I knew there couldn't be 2 tingeezers out there.

 

No, a buddy of mine told me about it, now he kicking himself for not bidding on it

 

Damn .....working at this rate you will be driving it around the block next week.Looks like the back pushed out pretty good.

 

I hope you start a new thread about getting that car back on the road (if you haven't already). This rebuild will be very interesting here since most regulars read about the accident and saw the video. I'm looking forward to more..thanks.

 

Nice score! I had to give 2 grand for my POS Vicky.

 

Should go for 20% of the payout. I will be interesting to see what it does go for. This looks like the 32 Pontiac coupe when we started it. Burnt but not damaged.

Some more progress,frame repaired,body back on, fits right, doors close right, It took me awhile to get the wiring figured out, my stupidity. I did fire the engine before I tore everything apart. Ran like brand new.

 

I love Vicky's and it looks like the right guy bought this one. Looks great please keep posting progress pics. Congrats!

 

Looking good, glad to see it brought back to life.

 

Nice to see such a nice car being rebuilt instead of parted out. It's coming along nicely

Wouldn't it be something if you put it up for sale once it's finished and Bob Edlefson bought it back with his insurance payout from the wreck!?

 

Tingeezer, are you doing this work yourself...??? If so, you get **** done pretty quick...!!! Impressive...
