The interior shot is extremely encouraging. The fact that the pine needles in the the floorboards haven't fallen through the bottom is a very positive indicator of presence of mass. By my calculation, the front seat should account for around 3.6% of the car. And look, a bonus -0.6% return with a single hubcap and that very rare and smashable grill, previously thought to be gone forever!
Now, the motor region of the vehicle looks very encouraging. There are two ways this could go. Normally having the air cleaner on the car is a fair indicator of ran-when-parked. Your pessimist friend would say "Well, he probably didn't have to pull the air cleaner because the failure was so obvious. It probably broke the crank". But my 8th grade English teacher told us "When you hear hoofs, don't think zebras, think horses" so let's maintain some realistic optimism here and say the motor could, just maybe, run on starter fluid. By my balance sheet, only 4.1% of the car can't be accounted for, and I like those odds.

ReplyDeleteI think a missing fender is more than 10% on its own.
ReplyDeleteI figured that fender certainly would be more that 10% by price, but then I found this:

By price...I never even thought of that metric. Somebody's gotta move on this thing!
