At least he is being honest. He should just part that car out.

Parting out is pretty much what he is doing at that price.

The frame is toast. It has the wrong front clip for a 69. I didn't read his description so it may have explained that. Has a Vega steering wheel. It is just pieced together, almost. :nopity

That is an honest description. The seller should be applauded for being so despite what you think of the car. And yes, it is sad to see 1969s fade away. They are my favourite C3.

Yes, very sad, almost couldn't bear to look at the photos... Let's hope she finds a good home and a patient, persistent owner!
