Original paint, unmolested? Doesn't make any sense to derby that when I'm sure you would have your pic of cheap Crown Vics or newer Impalas which would do much better and cause much less disturbance to "the force".
Why not take a bunch of pics of inside, outside, under, and everywhere and put it up for sale? I'm sure there's somebody from here that would love to have it. Then take the proceeds and buy something more expendable for your destroying enjoyment.
Heck, I'd be willing to toss in a few bucks towards helping buy it for Todd as a "Canadian Poncho official car", that way Todd could use it to promote the website through car shows and other events. If enough people were willing to contribute it just might work. Anybody in on that?

Just to be clear this car was purchased for total destruction at the 2015 Bash'n at the Beach Derby in Slave Lake Alberta. So please don't be too hard on me if she ends up on the beach.
Food for thought, if you really like watching cars crash into each other, you should come down to the lower mainland Vancouver area for a week or two. You can watch some of the creative driving and get it all out of your system !!
How about some interior pictures of that wagon? We might as well enjoy it before it's gone.
Hmmmm.... How badly damaged was it in the flood? Wonder how far the water got - maybe the engine's toast? Since it's a flood car, does that mean it has been written off and can't be licensed for the road again, like that famous '62 Impala convertible fraud case?
it only would have gotten tagged as a non repairable flood car .. IF it had been registered at the time , and an insurance claim was filed.
Good that the seller disclosed that ...
A friend has a Foose edition Ford truck ..that is tagged as flood recovery ,, can never be insured again.. to bad. I'd of never known had he not told me the history.

I was thinking the same thing- the official CP staff car! So, does this car have a salvage title? If not and you have registration in your name I am interested if I can get it to PEI fairly cheap.

Only 3341 miles to tow it. Be easier to build your own 62 wagon out of old Black Label cans.
Educating please: If a car has been in a flood and insurance has paid for it, it can never be licensed again? Is this a provincial rule or is it federal?
Think this has come up before in another thread, just can't remember which one. In B.C. you can have a written off car by means of two ways. ICBC pays you out and then looks to see if it is repairable, if so, then auctions the cars off to anyone with a license to purchace from ICBC ( eg: autobody shops, custom shops etc).After vehicle is repaired it must pass structural and mechanical inspections, only then it may be put back on the road. The other is if ICBC deems the car unrepairable, it is then classified as a dismantle only. Most of these go to the wreckers. Hope this helps but don't know what other Provinces do.
