    That car is a $3,000 car at best, the picture quality sucks but you can see how crappy under the hood looks, that car needs restored to be a good one

    It is definitely one I would like to see brought back pristine condition.

    It would be a nice project car, but by looking at how scaley the front frame section is I think the car is gonna have alot of soft spots on it. No cruise, A/C, and plain jane as they come. It does however have two tone paint which I think is very cool. Interior appears to be black which is also a plus, just looks like a VERY scary car without better pictures

    I was amused by the battery shot, which is still wrapped in plastic. Shows questionable battery tray/inner fender well condition also. Those battery cables looked rough as well. Note the original upper radiator hose.
    If you are trying to sell something for that amount, how hard is it to take your stuff out of the back, wheel it outside and get some proper pictures? I suspect I will be seeing it on CL for awhile.

    That might be a $2000 wagon if they're lucky.

    I'm thinking, the pitting and what sure looks like bubbling may just be spread all over this one.
