Cool

I know a guy who bought a flood car. It had silt everywhere. Anything that moves caused problems and died a horrible death. It was in the engine, tranny, diff, transfer case, blower motor, starter motor, water pump, etc,etc, etc. All bearings failed, hinges, etc, etc, etc. Anything and everything, window regulators, seat belt tensorner, etc.

Its like those foreclosed homes you read about people buying for a dollar. Thats all its worth as the home is basically a total loss.

If you got the time and money I am sure you can clean everything. Maybe it was cheap enough you can get it running and get enough use before it fails to break even or even come out ahead?
