| I'm local, so i looked at it today. The son in law is not much of a car guy (so he says) and missed a lot.
The car has rust, some smaller holes in the floors mostly at the body mounts, and holes behind the headlight pods. The somewhat rusty quarters were repaired with aluminum and pop rivets, covered with Bondo. Most of the pot metal is badly pitted, and the paint job was badly masked, the glass gaskets are partly painted.
Conversely, there is a new Gary Goers interior (seats, door panels, carpet) installed, re-chromed bumpers, and a new but uninstalled dashpad.
This is an original A/C car, but all of the under-hood components are missing.
The rest is in the ad, it has a blown head gasket at a minimum, I did not try to start it.
It looks like how forward look cars were "restored" in the 70's.
Owner will not take less than $30K. I passed.

Yikes! I'd have thought someone would have put more effort into rust repairs and paint on such a rare vehicle! Seems so lazy for something so valuable. |
