eBay Fire DeLorean Sold - General opinion of values welcome

[Ras12]

This car apparently sold for $7,501 with a charred rear end, non-stock engine and salvage title.

Seeing this, what are people's opinions about the value of a non-running, clear title, cars with decent stainless and frames but interiors that need rehab?

Just curious.

I think you'll be surprised what a parts car without body damage goes for. You will probably make more on that one than on the good one!

Thanks in advance"

Don't say it! It may actually come true!


Lately, there have been a couple sellers listing their DeLoreans for $50,000+!

Where are you finding such a bargain???

Here's the latest one, for $70k. Mainly because the engine bay light actually works
