Default Great project car on ebay?
This is a quote from the seller "This is a great project to get done, The hard work has been completed , body off the frame paint has been removed off most of the car , everything is there the engine ran last year , the car drove 3 years ago" .

Think he forgot to mention the frame might have an issue!

Ouch, I'd put that in the "mostly gone" category. Actually, that car seems familiar... maybe it was listed and posted here before?

This has a buy it now price at $6500? The frame is in two pieces, and the frame and engine look like it has sat outside uncovered for a long time. Too much of a project for that price.

Great project. $20K plus about 1000 hours of work and you could have a drivable car. If that is almost done I want to see what it began as.

Have you priced an original front clip lately? Maybe not a good project car, but looks like a great parts car.

"The car was a 1 owner when I bought it in 1994 I never put it in my name. The original owner was 65 at that time."

Scary.
