I have a hard time believing that this is a 72! :eek: Every body panel is from a 74 or later, including the vents, front fenders, etc. It doesn't even have the switch for the alarm in the right spot. Either somebody went to a great deal of trouble to modify ALL of the body panels or perhaps that VIN tag doesn' belong to the car.

...I have a hard time believing that this is a 72! Anyone ask him for the VIN?

That is certainly NOT the ugliest thing I've seen to a C3 (At least it's not a batmobile or decked out with **** carpeting). This one could be salvaged.. and frankly, I think a good paintjob and the removal of that annoying wing in the back would do wonders for it as a start.
Whether it's a 72 or not.. who knows.. lol. I've seen enough part swaps on all makes and models of vehicles to know that what's advertised is most certainly NOT what you get. I wonder if the vin#'s match for the car? I suppose it's possible that the car was trashed and used a substantial amount of donor parts to rebuild.. or the guy was an idiot and used donor parts to "custom" his ride.
2k isn't that bad of a price if the car has little more than the cosmetics wrong with it.
