I would be afraid to use most anything on that car. If I was close it might be worth going and pulling the one or two things that MIGHT be salvageable and then letting the crusher have the rest. It is a bit too far along for me.

So sad.....although the hardtop glass alone is worth the $200....

I'm with Dave; it's worth it for the glass and whatever else you can scavenge from the hardtop. But I rather doubt it's a candidate for a Concours restoration.

I see quite a few parts that come up for sale in Buy&Sell section quite often: hardtop/glass, speedo/tach, gas filler cap, bumpers, door handles, etc. That bonnet might even be salvageable. If I were anywhere close, I'd offer the guy $100 and spend a few hours pulling off parts. Would probably get $50 from the crusher for the metal alone. If you were really motivated, would be interesting to pull the gearbox too. No pics of the engine, but if it has HS2's, the carb linkages, etc. it would be worth the time.
