It certainly could… seriously, now that the best turbos are in $175K+ territory.

 

But it’s hard to predict, and I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if it sold in the $75K to $100K range.

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

YES!   I will further derail this thread by explaining that the magazines which are visible in the passenger footwell are issues of 1990s European Car magazine---I'm sure many of you here re

From the picture of the cluster, looks as though the high water mark was just below the tripometer knob.     Watch it will still sell for $100K

  I want it and have the chops to do it. May attempt to buy if at the right price.  

 Not telling you not to try, just giving you some info. There are 6 different people I know of personally who are planning on bidding. Three of them have seriously deep pockets.

Keep in mind that there's a chance it will never go to auction.  The insurance company probably has a contract with Copart to store their vehicles while all the details are worked out.  If the owner wants to retain the vehicle it will disappear off the site, or it could go into a legal battle and sit for a year or more, which would destroy the car(s).

 

Someone needs to hose those cars out with a fire hose, inside and out!

I feel the same as Steve, it’s my tactile relationship with the car knowing every nut / bolt, the sounds it makes and why, knowing everything about the car it is part of my bonding relationship with it…

 

in this instance all I can think about is somebody did not deserve a turbo if they weren’t gonna take care of it…

I agree totally!  Whomever owned these cars had ample time to clear them away from the hurricane zone or certainly had the means to have someone help get them to safety.  It seems criminal that this volume of highly valuable cars were left to be filled with salt water.

There's 20 plus classic cars at that yard so far.  Looks like someone lost their Corvette collection too.  Sad

That's a whole lot of beautiful classic cars that will never be the same.

 

I'm curious out of all these cars which will go for the most money. I'm guessing it will be the original 1965 Shelby Cobra or the 1969 Jaguar E-type, but the 2002 Turbo could go for more.

I just hope it goes to someone who has his or her eyes open to the extent of the work to make this or any of those beautiful cars whole, nothing less than a total strip down and rebuild is going to get it done.

In all fairness to at least some of the folks who lost their collector cars, that storm flooded places--both from storm surge and river flooding--that had never flooded before. Folks miles inland had as much or more water in their houses from overflowing rivers than folks on the coast got from storm surge.  Thus people who thought they were safe due to elevation--both near the coast and inland...weren't.  

 

Add to that the affected places hadn't had a category 4 storm hit in almost anyone's memory, and literally millions of people who were affected by Ian had never experienced a hurricane.  Over 100 will never have the chance to again--worst hurricane death toll since the Labor Day 1935 storm in the Keys, which killed 500+ people.

 

I've been through nine hurricanes, but nothing worse than a strong category 2 (125mph winds)--and I was in a sturdy building well above any storm surge.  Had I been in the path of Ian, I would have been in Ft Lauderdale or Miami as fast as my car could carry me.
