RIP - '73 Golf Touring

I guess Copart is auctioning the ashes. Got to be a "story" here.

Was on BAT early 2018 sporting its rust issues.

Re-appeared a year ago on Craigslist with (stated) new paint, new front seats and new brakes.

What a shame doesn't look like anything at all can be saved from that?

Just the hatch roundel; being aluminium it should have disappeared.

I'd be happy to go look at it, but the pictures tell what's useful from it.... just about nothing.  wish I knew the story!

From the dent in the driver's door, flattened left rear quarter by the tail light, pushed in roof and the tucked under front wheels (not to mention the nearly detached front bumper) I'd guess a rollover, followed by a fire...what a shame...

 

There's a VIN to scratch off...

How could ALL of the paint be burned off of this car and the tires are still generally intact. Something smells

Looking for the silver lining in that dark gray cloud, Dan?

 

But the pre-fire photos suggest 4 1/2” rims and it wasn’t a factory tii... ?

 

Best regards,

There was a lot of bondo in the right rear...

 

 

I agree, that looks like no car fire I've seen.  But then,

I've never seen a car that's been through a fire like

the forest fires we've been having recently...
