Actually, this car was on a military base in Mississippi. The windows were broken out by debris in the water during the storm.

**BIG D's SS** · 04-19-2006, 11:09 AM

The motor might still be good. I would love to have it for parts.

**Motrv8d Steve** · 04-19-2006, 12:14 PM

Oh I get it! It's a clean flood!!!

**RainMan** · 04-19-2006, 04:00 PM

Damn, that brings back memories! Not of the storm, but of when I was stationed at Keesler AFB, back in '93-'94.

The long white hangars in the background are where I went to school when I retrained into the Radar Career Field. Can't remember the name of the hall but, I've been down that road many times!

That car is toast. . . .Two Words! . . . ."Salt Water". . . .nuf said!

No. The person who owned the car already was paid by his insurance company. The insurance company sold the car at auction. Now another dealer is selling it as a "flood car."

The pics taken during and right after the storm were taken by the former owner of the car, who is also a member at LS1GTO.com. That's where I got the pics from.
