Nah. Pull the engine and tranny out of it. Salvage what ever parts out of it you can. Especially the Tony Stewart stuff. Like the rims for example. And make your money back from selling the parts.

I noticed Copart has a Dale Jr edition also. Has passenger side damage. Rear axel looks jacked. Most likely has frame damage.

That would make a great donor car. It even has the 20 floor mats still.

Dont forget the possibility of engine damage. If it was rolled while running there is a very good chance that the engine is no good. Would be a good car to pick up for less than 1000 bucks. The interior alone is worth 1000. If the engine is good thats a plus. The trans should be ok. If you were looking to buy that to have it fixed, you are looking at anywhere between 12-15K in repairs if done correctly. Then in the end you will still have an R-titled car.

yeah usually after the cars been rolled you just have to have the entire engine flushed along with the tranny. if the person who rolled it was smart the shut it off right after it happened and no damage was done to the motor. we have cars come into my dads shop right after they have been rolled and the people have the engines/trannys flushed in most cases or sometimes just engines and they run like they did before the accident.
