hmmm, i recon you take it for free, and put it in a garage for about 20 yrs, then sell it and retire.

nah, really, take it, strip whatever isnt completely f**k and sell that, then send the rest to the scrap metal merchant

Even if it was an original GT coupe, I doubt if most people would even bother. I think theres better projects out there. Have you got any number sfrom the car? vin?
