Very Sad!

Lucky to be able to salvage the vin tag, engine and 4sp maybe??? will need new frame, body, etc, etc, etc , So, worth maybe $2500 tops ???

Somebody let this one rot that did not know what they had, a shame. Interesting that somebody ripped off the radio and NOT the Tri Power setup, hmmmmm…...

They knew what they had. That's why they kept it forever. But they thought "fiberglass. It wont rust."

15K? Really? IDGAS if it's number matching. Looks like a boat anchor.

I'm not a violent person, but whoever let that car get to that point needs to be throat punched!

I couldn’t help but notice that original ‘68 BB correct top relief smog pump and full setup sitting there. That’s a restorable unit, I’ll bet, and worth a few dollars.

I wonder what the frame looks like. Depending on what the owner has into it, this car could be marketed properly and sold pretty easily I think, even if the body panels were tossed and everything pressure washed. Not for 15, though.

Im not sure what your point is here. Is there a reason a car lot owner can’t sell that car?

You don’t see my point? I find that difficult to believe. There is vintage car for sale on Craigslist. By most expert accounts the car is well overpriced. The ad says “for sale by owner”. However the phone number provided in the ad is a used car lot.

What part don’t you get?
