Default I like the back window ?

Wife saw this on Facebook here in Danville.
Asking $3000.00. For some strange reason i like the back of the car, but no i am not even going to look at it.

The article says,

My husband built this car about 35 years ago. It was originally a 68 convertible. It has a 78 corvette motor, 81 corvette front end, ford Shelby mustang tail lights and back up lights. Has a 280Z back window.

I always loved the ecklers hatch back that used a monza rear window
This one off if that is a z car rear glass looks even better,
The bodywork looks good but the tail lights need help

Cool car, 3k hum, must be more rust than car,

Y'know, for only $3K obo, that leaves a LOT of room for improvement. '68 convert's a pretty good looking car. At that price you could always bring it back, unless it's a complete rust bucket like Bats said.

you can spend an easy 4-5K to replace all the convertible parts if they are all missing and drive yourself crazy trying to locate some of the obscure parts needed...ask me how I know..
