How much are they selling/parting it out for? They wanted 750 to accept it but I don't have room in the driveway and with school picking up I don't have time to deal with it. Was a good car and wish I could restore it .

Edit: If you look closely, you can see the shovel I ziptied and secured to the roof rail stayed on.

If someone does end up buying from this forum, PM me, I would like to buy the back glass panels off of it for the stickers and memory of it. If you have questions let me know, I was present in the accident (not driving it, girlfriend was as I was too tired to safely drive) and have been working on it since 2020, and records of mods prior.

so far only cuts and bruises, the car did its job VERY well. Sold me on the durability and safety of the cars (well from crushing us from an accident, idk about the airbags....).

Some of the mods on it are (inline ofc) Truc trac rear locker from GBR, Smittybilt winch (I don't know if the inside of the winch was damaged, but control box is toast). Ashcroft CDL, 6 seats at the time (I have the 7th in my closet and willing to sell). Front bumper which is toast, deep cycle battery (don't know how it faired but don't think well). There are KC cyclone lights around the car but may be damaged. It was a CA vehicles without SAI so I don't know if there are less parts than wanted or if that is useful.

Searching for Discos on that site and seeing how many there are makes me wonder how many are left in the US altogether. Hundreds? Thousands?

I cant find the numbers now but I looked it up some weeks back (original sales firgures). Not a lot, at least not relative to everything else on the road. I am in the market to pick up another but the pickings are slim right now.
