I have location of 4 other series 1 covers. And 2 series 2 covers, at Rossion.
I also have a spare series 1 hardtop cover, while I was there in October.

I think I was the last one there. I went down on the 17th. It was a bit different than the original scavenger hunt. ALL the parts from inside the shop area are gone. That's really sad because they had enough parts to build 20 more cars...
The list kind of looks like this:
Some hard parts like control arms and even a rusty engine still in a crate.
There are quite a few series one engine covers left. Even a couple of carbon fiber ones.
At least one hammer head front end ( appears to have been cut from a car ) and at least 1 series 2 bumper ( straight out of the mold and not even rough cut )
There are almost 2 pallets of the "bean" wheels like mine, but no chrome ones left and no star wheels.
Mike has a set of +20 injectors in the package on his desk ( pretty cheap too )
2 pallets of headlights
3-4 engine sub frames ( possibly more but I just stumbled across a few )
Glass....boxes and boxes of glass, but no useable* windshields...
* a few series 2 ones that are suffering from delamination / water intrusion
Polopharm, I'll pm you my contact info.
I think it's definitely worth heading down there to poke around , it's like a time capsule. Bring a flashlight and some grippy shoes and be careful
I'm assuming they pitched everything that was inside. Wish they would have said something when we were there, I'd have packed the truck to the top and hauled as much back as I could. There were plenty of nooks and crannies I could have piled small things. I grabbed some things but didn't want to be greedy since others were planning on going down. I know there were quite a few like new lower TII intercooler hoses piled on the shelves inside, I grabbed a few but would have taken the whole lot if I knew they were going to be thrown out. Oh well what can you do. I'm hoping to get started on mine this summer. I'm going to plan to get it running/driving and then blow it apart for bodywork and paint. It's going to be a few year project at least unless I find some hidden ambition and a full time babysitter!
Going to rossion tomorrow with Randy. Any requests?
See if you can get a trophy or two for me. I'd like one of the One Lap Trophies or Nelson Ledges trophies so I can display with my car at shows.
Headlight surrounds, the fiberglass pieces.

I'd be in for some headlight surrounds also if you find multiple sets. I didn't find any when Matt and I were there. I also need whatever the headlights mount to.

Oh and it you would happen to come across a gas tank that would be nice also.
Will keep everyone posted. I will try n do a brief inventory.

Randy and I went to rossion today. And guess who was there ? Warren mosler in his Northstar powered gtp
He was very nice , and we chatted about cars.
I grabbed a few things- shocks, wheels, gauges, and a bunch of original factory sales brochures. Cool stuff. Including a letter from IMSA banning the car, a letter from congress denying government funding for Consulier, race results etc.
Randy got a great mt900 seat, and a full aluminum engine subframe.
The guys there were great , but I feel another clean out is going to happen. They want to get rid of the storage containers.
Car looks great in silver. I believe those are 17" wheels also.
Northstar powered, huh? Musta been left over from an unfinished Twinstar they used to make. It sounds like a neat idea and I bet with a good exhaust it's got a mean exhaust note. Even stock the 300hp would move that car right along. I wonder what the drivetrain weight is versus the Chrysler engines? I also wonder about transmissions. I never liked any of the options for transverse V8's (assuming it's transverse...it might be longitudinal ala Raptor.
I'm not sure I'd do that swap, but that's pretty much only because I like our engines and I'd want to keep the car somewhat "original"...LMAO...like I'll ever own one...
Warren was pretty cool, a very laid back guy.
I asked him about vin numbers vs production dates you could see his eyes glaze over then said ,vins were in place first then they were built as needed.
Thats why vins and production dates are different.
The wheels on Warrens car are exactly the same as the ones on mine.
They are 17 inch and fit fine.
The SWEET aluminum sub frame is going to Dave Skrab in VA. so he can complete a car for his wife.
I paid Ian 100.00 for the sub frame....he must have had a moment of generosity.
The way I see it Warren could have the choice of any car to drive around while in town .....even his MT900.
What did he choose CONSULIER...
If I wasn't so far away I'd take another trip. I'm sure I could find more, If it's going to the junk man I'd bring it home.
What are the wheels and size that Warren is running on his car? Interestingly - look at the wheels on my volvo in the background, very similar.
Is his silver car there in the pic a TIII car?
