My son live in NE Arizona so I peruse CL every now and again looking for parts he may need for his e36 M3 track car.  Stumbled across this and thought someone in the area may be interested.  Shell looks pretty shot but might be worth it for the parts?

$800 maybe a thousand tops. No title, I hate that.?

Definitely not worth $2k...however if it's been living in Phoenix for most of its life, I'd wager there isn't too much structural rust.  Spare tire wells rust out due to bad trunk gaskets; front floors due to bad door gaskets.  Both can be repaired.  

 

The VIN begins with 238--is that a '74 VIN?  Don't have my VIN list in front of me...

 

As for a title--I know the rules vary from state to state, but here in Ohio we have what's called an "assembled from parts" title,, where you present the title agency with receipts/bill of sale for major pieces of a car (body, engine, tranny, differential) and if he VIN on the body doesn't show up as stolen or otherwise titled elsewhere, you get a title.  I've done that a couple of times and it was pretty pain-free.  Check your state and see what your rules are.  Or check "services offered" in Hemmings fo companies who will get you a registration from a non-title state, which you can convert to a title in your state.

Yeah that's a 75 or 76 you can tell by the coil position moved forward to the radiator support. Not that the year really maters

They say parts have already been picked off it so its definitely a parts car. It could be fixed up but probably not worth it. If the parts are in good condition someone could part it out and make a little money but it'll take a long time. Interesting that it looks like they towed it home with a tow bar attached to the front bumper shocks.
