Default Craigslist find: 1972 pancaked C3.

For $3,300, what's left that is worth spending that much?

The first CL link is somebody calling out a seller! The seller in, another ad, is trying to flip a car that he brought the same day
, for $800 and now he wants $3,300???

I wonder if it's even worth $800?

Exactly!!! That's why I listed them. But I mean I just don't see anything other than the rear bumpers, side grilles, maybe the passenger door and panel, maybe some of the rear suspension? worth spending money on this car. It is too far gone IMO to do much with it. It is less than a parts car.

$3300 is too cheap for Gas Monkey. He would have to give twice that for it and then try to sell it to one of his rich friends for 'way too much money.

This ad is hilarious!

I think you may be able to add a passenger headlight assembly to the list of salvageable parts! lol

I actually can picture a bunch of young teenagers with air in their heads, trying to load it on a trailer with a crane, and they dropped it. I have seen a lot of boats and yachts that were destroyed that way.
