Interesting ... this looks like a very optimistic flip to me.

I kinda doubt the wreck will be worth much after the movie has been out a while. How many otherwise ordinary but wrecked cars that were used in movies or TV shows can you think of?

General Lee #1. Wrecked in the pilot episode, painted and used for one of the next episodes as a junker then sat in a Georgia junkyard until the mid 2000's. After being pulled from the junkyard it sold on Ebay(in wrecked/totaled condition) for just over $30,000

I'd want paperwork before buying something like that for aesthetics...

I guess you could fix up the good one and drag that heap around to shows with your certificate in hand.
Or you could look through our classifieds and put together the same combination cheaper.
No certificate, but who wants to preform perpetual care on a crunched parts hulk and its 2nd string sidekick waiting for a piece of paper to go up in value?
General Lee no.1 took almost 30 years to get to that sale. I'd hate to think I'd have to wait that long. Also the "spirit" of the General lived on in the next car the following episode. It still lives today. I saw it last month parked up at the local Dodge place.
That Jeep was just killed and it was nameless.

Makes me wonder if Superman and the General were to fight. Who would win?
Just sayin'
