Looks like the one from the other thread was in a crash with a wrecking ball and they found the engine.

But hopefully you should know NOT to buy it. I would never pay $500 for that pile of #$%@, and that does not even meet the reserve price.

That pile looks awful familiar like it was listed here quite awhile ago. Even the pix's are the same. Pile of junk only worth to someone who wants to place high in the scrap iron drive,,,or a crook. Peace,,,Moosie

I bet there is a great story about how this car ended up in this shape....either really SAD or really FUNNY !

I bet it includes the phrase..."WATCH THIS"!

Seriously......what can you salvage off this car to make it a worthwhile investment? To top it off it's been sitting like that for 27 years!

It should have been put out of it's misery 27 years ago....thats an insult to even list that car.

ive got some pictures of my 69 vette from way back in the early/mid 70s after some one took it off roading. every single panel on the car was cracked or destroyed to some degree, the interior was completly shot too.

from the best of my knowledge, the guy lost control going into a turn on wet roads and put it through about 30ft of pine trees.


even at its worst, my car never looked as bad as that thing does.
