Florida IAAI flood cars

Spotted an E30 M3 in it. SIG group mentioned a red one but this one was black.

Would hate to end up buy one of these cars as they are going to rot out and the wiring is going to fail.

I do Cars on YT just had a video (last week I think) on a flood car from FL that turned out fine, except the title is branded such that it cannot be driven on the street so has to be parted out.

Years ago I had a friend with a 993 turbo that was a flood car, and he fixed it himself and used it as a track car. That was a fresh water flood; salt is much worse.

Correct, which is why we total them out and give them COD titles. That Skyline in the foreground makes me sad.
