Unable? What about dedicated race/track cars? As long as they're trailered, do they really need titles and such? I don't know the law that well, but I'm sure there could have been something they could have been used for other that some new mail boxes.

I don't blame Fox. It's the law they are following. It's sad that this has to happen due to poor written legislation. Shame indeed!

This is definitely a shame, but according to Toyota corp all cars used for show purposes that have been donated must be crushed after its tour. VIP auto salon did the same thing to their project LS I'm pretty sure, and I'm sure the five:axis F is close to the crusher soon as well... Oh well just gotta use em as inspiration.

All the parts you guys are talking about outside the fenders are on my IS350. I got the complete ISF interior seats, door panels, center console, and black plastic along with the headlights from the convertible and the ISF brakes.

In where, the interior in the ISF is stock tan IS350 interior. I got the black ISF interior and the silver carbon fiber pieces along with all the door panels.

The only items that i did not get were the upper pillars and above and seat belts

After seeing those Fox Marketing cars in all those nice car show photos, it is a bummer to see them in the junk yard like that.
