IMHO this one's likely headed for being parted out or serving as a mule, as it will in all likelihood never be worth the cost of fixing it up, not to mention that of being "restored".

...and that hood!

The bid is at $36.00 right now. That seems fair.
Looks like there is some kind of growth in the middle of the hood. And is that rear glass from a Pinto?

Looks like a 67 or 68 Mercury Cougar tail light lens stashed inside, that must be worth $36 provided it survived the tar kettle blowup

The bid is up to $510 now.
The photo of the console looks like it has been sitting in the rain for some time. I wonder how this can can " run strong" like the seller says

How many hose camps does it take to seal up that green garden hose?
Wasn’t there a posting in the Tech/Performance section on pics of dangerous fuel pump to carb setup?

I find it hard to believe that the reserve isn't met yet.
