Default 98 TypeR in local wrecking yard

Figured I would post this up because it's something you don't see very often if ever.
I got a email notification from my local junkyard today and it showed a 98 integra put in the yard today so I clicked on the pics and was in shock at what it was, yes a real 98 itr that was still for the most part complete so I rushed as fast as I can to get there which It took me an hour. I got to the yard and before u even had a chance to look at it somebody was already purchasing the swap which sadly sold for only $320 which $75 was core charges, I continued to the car to find somebody taking the wheels, seats and cluster which sold for around $200, I was able to get some parts off of it but in the pics you will see that it only had 113k miles on it, something happened to it and I guess they took the insurance money and junked the car.

Excuse me for the long paragraph just wanted to share this story.






on to the very sad pics

The entire car is stripped and the SUV next to it hasn't lost a part.

Even base model Integras get stripped out quick. I'm not that surprised that an R was gone within days.
