True HIV dies very fast, but I think it would still weird me out a little bit. Also, this could very possibly have been a fatal accident and I would be very uncomfortable w/ that knowledge. FUrthermore, I can't imagine that the drivetrain is still good. That car is totally F'd and the loading that was put on the engine upon impact would have been immense.
 
What he is asking for doesnt sound that bad reall. Keep in mind that car has a 5K supercharged v8 with little over 3k miles and its not your regular run of the mill engine either, its a cobra. Then tack on the trans and true dual exhaust with dual cats and mufflers that alone is worth alot more then what he is asking for. Granted it has HIV all over it but if you bought it strictly for the engine and stuck that in a 5.0 project youd have ove baaaaaaaad mama jama.

We don't know what he wants, though. $6,500 is not the reserve price.

When you think about it. That car prob cost here about 23K-7 and the guy probabaly brought it from a insurance acudtions (sp) for about 4k or something. That thing still has "0" bids on it, so its probably not going any place anytime soon.

You're comparing that "gem" to factory new prices. That engine, etc. isn't exactly in new condition. It ain't worth shit. I wouldn't trust ANY of the drive train components.

$2.5k max if you ask me.

 
Is there any real way for the HIV to be viable in this state? I figure - sitting in the open air for this long, that there would be no way that the virus could survive.

not a chance in hell. HIV is one of the pussies of the viral world when it comes to staying viable outside the body.
