Kicking myself, Note to self... always call CL ads Options

So I saw an ad on CL, guy said he had a 6000 mike car he wanted gone. Picture showed a front end wreck, lots of surface rust, figured the mileage was a typo.

nope....


Just called him, it really had 6000 miles. Wrecked in 74, stored ever since. Said the seats still had the original factory plastic covering them.

Problem is, I waited too long to call, interior is all gone along with almost everything else. Going to go and get the rest tonight or tomorrow, but I'm PO'ed at myself for not calling as soon as he posted.

Well, I don't have pics yet, but I will have the car at my house sometime soon (hopefully Saturday). This will be my fourth in one year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Strange looking it over... areas that would have been rusted or worn from use are not, but there is a lot of rust from the collision damage.

The front end collision was bad enough to tweak the car all the way to the firewall with transferred energy, and the ears were broken off of the tranny. The engine has been torn down already by the PO, looks good inside, but I'm not putting it back together.

I only want a few things off of the car, do I have any votes for selling this thing as a wrecked roller? Or should I cut the usable parts off and crush it? I see an almost pristine hellhole area, as well as suspension console. The rear trunk floor looks perfect (but it IS filled with spare parts). Good quarters, goodish doors, great top, bad bumper, bad hoods, shredded front end, tweaked floor, broken windshield and no interior pieces left.

I will be taking out the wiring, the battery support, and the rubber seals (surprisingly good shape).

I know you don't have any pics yet, but what would YOU do?

By the way, the VIN is 4722901087, and last titled mileage was 6,156.
