It would/could have been. I spent about $14k and a few hundred hours resurrecting the thing and got 500 miles of fun. Then it fell apart. The sad thing is that in its current state, it will draw almost no interest except in parts. It could be an interesting project, and has good bones. The computer heart of these things aren't for the faint of heart.

Thanks for your comment. It could be neat, if you are nearby, and are resourceful. The engine can be sold, and the car needs an engine transplant. Its still interesting. I'm just exhausted and will end up about $12k poorer.

On the upside, this was my fifth light accident, low mileage, interesting car that I brought back to life. Four of them where enjoyable and made entertainment and economic (sort of) sense. This one buried me, but was fun.

I still have a 1960 MGA, 1954 MGTF (project), 1957 Studebaker Silverhawk (light restomod), 1978 Lil Red Truck, and 1976 Datsun 280z to finalized and have fun with. I'll be overwhelmed with these, the Crotchfire has to go. It could have been great fun, it just wasn't.
