3/5 of an aerocoupe??

[Bludacious]

Sorry if this is in the wrong category, but I ran across a listing for this car about 2 weeks ago. The back half of an aerocoupe someone's cut up. What makes this especially strange is that someone's taken the time to cut halfway up the glass and halfway down the rocker panel, and the car is nearly spotless . My best guess is they're using the front of the shell to mount as some sort of wall art? Very strange...

The original listing can be found here

i'm guessing it was wrecked. There's nothing special about an SS aero front like a 2+2.

Given the color of the interior panels I have a feeling it was donked out with 24" rims. Maybe it was wadded in the front and that's all they could save.

The cut locations make sense when you realize thays where the qtr panels meet the rocker panels plus a few inches, and where the roof meets the a pillars plus a few inches.

That looks like a salvage yard cut to me, likely because they cant legally remove the vin off the car nor can they sell the cab she'll with the vin tag.

PKL 792 looks like the rear tag to me...

Known in the trade as top and tail. Used to be a common repair for rear hard hits.

Well, ya learn something new every day... Still wondering how they managed to cut a pane of tempered/safety glass clean in half without having it pop on them...

Usually gas powered saw, like a handheld concrete saw, but with a grinding wheel type blade

Windshields are laminated, not tempered.
