sounds like it'd be more work than it's worth. With fire or water damage, there's always going to be things wrong that you didn't see at first, or can't find later on, that are going to drive you nuts. All it would take is for one small buried wire that had a little too much of its insulation melted off to cause a short, which could not allow the car to run or even cause another fire. I wouldn't, unless you're just going to use it as a shell and do the rest from scratch (all new wiring, all new engine, etc.)

haha...tell me where and I will go buy it...if its a clean title I think that car is certainly worth the gamble...but be prepared as others have said to find other things wrong...could end up costing you another 5-7k to get it running...
