Its all about the numbers? If you can buy the car and do the work inside trade price then ok. But 'personally' i don't think they are cheap enough to justify it.

Too true! I remember years ago buying an RV8 that was coughing, farting & the ‘banging’ through the exhaust manifold pipes sounded disastrous. It was just mixed-up plug leads, no doubt by the underbidder 

Knocking & banging nowadays usually means ‘engine replacement’.

Just kick a dent in the door, lose the key and stick it through copart?

Non runner creation apparently can be very lucrative.I knew a guy who was in cahoots with a repo man down London somewhere.Most of the repos were horrible and they were all taken to the block.However,every now and then there might be something big and juicy and retailable but when it went through the block.......you can guess the rest........I have to point out,I was not involved !
