My customer of 35 years pulled and got going a XK 120 that was 11' under Katrina water for weeks years back.
Not a hard job to do.
One day four months later in a hurry to go and represent his client in court, he felt chipper and
popped the clutch on a cool November morning for a fun and quick get away.
He forgot about the long steering shaft tube, maybe 4' x 4" which runs from steering wheel to gearbox, could possible hold alot of water.
Well it did and it released stinky ass swamp water onto his crotch, lower body and fine suit.
Went to court stinking and now drives off slowly.
No more quick starts.

Kinda awesome that someone would take this car on. It'd be just
heartbreaking to see any Pantera enter the crusher whole and
complete
like this.
Not knowing much about water damage, and assuming this car is a
total
restoration project-- is it possible that a unibody flooded like
this
would still be usable having spent (at least some of) it's life in
Baton Rouge?
If not, could the car actually bring upwards of $28K if it were
parted
out? Scratching my head here....
I guess I'm trying to figure what could be motivating these
bidders.
