At least the seller isn't trying to sugar-coat the car:

The car is a project. Please look close at the photos. The motor is missing and the windshield is cracked. I have the transmission, rear axle and complete drive assembly, front suspension, interior is complete but in very poor condition. She is missing the entire 350 motor, driveshaft, wheels, keys, title, fuel tank. She has scratches, cracks, and chips throughout the car. I inspected teh frame and she looks very good and solid. Please only bid if you are really interested in these kinds of projects. Furthermore, I am missing all the bolts and washers that were removed when the car was taken apart. I bought it to save it from being broken up into parts. It was going to be exported and the deal fell through. that was the story I was told. I have no other information about the history of this car. You will need to secure a title on your own please do not ask me to do it for you. Call a title agency like International Title service in Las Vegas Nevada look them up. 1 800 543-8626. Located in Brick NJ 08723. I can arrange to have the car shipped within 75 miles of 08723 for a fee of $200. Further then that you are on your own. Please look at the photos llisted. The car is to be paid in full within 7 days no exceptions or PAYPAL cash or money order only. I heard all the scams so please dont waste your time sending stupid Nigerian or international options. Call me direct ... the car is for sale locally. Thanks Don. “This vehicle is being sold for parts only and is not operational or street legal. Therefore, upon purchase, it will need to be either towed or trailered. eBay encourages its members to learn about their state laws governing vehicle sales prior to the sale or purchase of a vehicle.”

We can rebuild it. We can make it better, stronger, faster...

Looks like a fun project for the right person. The price is right.

Hi,Very sad--I live in New Jersey & you would have the restoration completed way before you could obtain a legal non-salvage nj title if you even could which I doubt.

It's taken me 8 years to get my vette where it is today. This one would take me 15 years!

Some seat covers and you golden. An engine might help too.

That is way too much work in store to get it back to road worthy condition. And then there is the title to deal with.

Just need to run it through a non-title state. That is not a big obstacle-if it isn't stolen.

Part it out. It is worth more in parts. Trying to get it back roadworthy and legally register it would be a nightmare. I commend anyone taking on that project.
