I found this in my area. I haven't seen it first hand and I do not know these people. The frame looks like it tore apart when they tried to move it. It is a basket case but I thnk it would help someone

I contacted the middle man and this is his response

here are the pictures that i have, as you can tell email is not my best form of communication so please feel free to call any time during the day and i will gladly explain everything that i know about the car some of the basic good points are that it does have a clean ma title, to the best of my knowledge the original engine and transmission (350/4speed),there are some parts that were removed years ago and kept indoors out of the weather (interior parts inner door panels some exterior parts) although not sure exactly what else is there that will go with the car.
the obvious bad things are the frame the frame and oh did i mention the frame the car sat outside in the dirt for around 30 years so the entire chassis and chassis related parts need to be replaced in my opinion a doner car with a good rolling chassis or someone selling a good rolling chassis would be the way to go i did locate both if you are interested. but its better to give me a call anytime during the day and we can talk (774)535-3265
thanks again Tony.

I tried the link in the post and it could not find the listing. If I directly searched Craigslist it shows up without pics, but price is $2000.
This thing looks really rough, but again I think most folks know I am looking for original LOF windshields for my 69' and 72', this could work. If there is someone out there that wants to take this on to part out, I would go in with them if the WS is usable for me.
Just throwing that out there.
If it was closer to me I would ****** it up today.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi,
Those are some pretty sobering pictures!
I wonder what it needed at one point that was serious enough to make who ever owned just abandon it?
Regards,
Alan

Anyone in the area care to go look at this? Specifically to check the VIN and Windshield? I know a long shot, but if someone is close and has the time.
Thanks

Thanks. I spoke to Bob several times in the last 3 months. He has nothing at this time, but at some point may have more. There is another guy here parting a 72' in WI and he has a WS I could use, but in the limited pics I could not tell the overall condition. I have tried to get in touch with him regarding the condition with no replies.
I keep searching.

Funny , If it was an L88 there would be hundreds rushing over there and fighting over it.
