There is nothing judgmental about Jim's assessment, he is merely stating the 
facts! Any car can be resurrected if someone is so inclined, but it takes 
insight, patience, muscle and money! The fate of this particular car lies 
completely with chance. The fact that it is listed on Ebay gives it a greater 
exposure than any other car in a like situation could ever have come close to 
in the past. A majority of parts cars are "projects" started by well 
intentioned, naive owners who didn't comprehend the scope of the undertaking 
and were abandoned in various stages of disassembly. I don't know how many 
bodies I have seen ruined by well intentioned owners sanding down the paint 
and then losing interest leaving the bare metal to rust! Or disassembling a 
car into parts scattered into rain soaked, disintegrating cardboard boxes 
sitting in the weeds! The only chance that this car has of getting back on 
the road is by someone perusing it with both eyes open and having the 
understanding of the pitfalls involved in dealing with a nearly fifty year 
old vehicle.
