All it needs is some buck teeth between the bumper extensions and it will be perfect.

this is what you get when you can't get the headlights to open and resort to a stick of dynamite

Hmmm... I like the wheels

He's saying the rears are 15X10 but it to me looks like 8x15 front/rear.

$2900 "buy it now" - nice 'long term' project if the frame is ok. it'll keep the new owner busy for a while...

It really pi$$es my a$$ off when some one does half-a$$ work on a classic car.
For the price of one friggin' roll of duct tape, one can of Krylon, and a couple beer cases worth of cardboard, this car could have been cherry!
I just don't understand some people!!!!!!

On a positive note, atleast it looks like the header bar has not fully delaminated from the fiberglass. If it had, the entire nose above the headlight openings would have nothing to attach to.

Surely that's worth $2900 as a spares car? How much would the wheels be worth alone?

Note the private bidder status...bet you would be bidding against the seller.
I cant see the bid going any higher otherwise.
I can just about accept someone might pay the current bid for the interior.
