Rhonda: That's an interesting way to look at this situation. I never thought of it in that context. My gut feeling was that this guy was money greedy and just wanted to make a few bucks and thought the car was worth more to him in a 'parted out' condition. Note the bidding for the fiberglass parts. Also, the shelby wheel covers. He may be right. The car may be worth more as parts. Regardless, you are right about it being a sad situation. I hate to see a GT/CS end up in the junk heap. :-[
