If anyone here buys it, I have a front clip, cut from the firewall forward. Not perfect but better than this one. Free to a good home...

Am bidding on it but basically the guy is going to end the auction early. He has multiple people trying to buy it outside the auction. Including the body shop where it is located. It's going to take $3500 + to get it. Which I am not doing

Maybe potential buyers think this car could sell for $20k. Nice car, but custom cars don't sell in the 20's without a high dollar engine conversion and no accident/rust damage.

Maybe I am off base in this thinking?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) but worth it for a nice repaired driver...

Jrust, do the math... it's probably not that bad if the body shop is hot for it. If you get it for $4k, transport to you for $500-$800 + $4k in body work = $9kish for a nice car. Doesn't seem bad to me.

He might have barely gotten that $9K price before it was wrecked. Car should be bought as a labor of love and for a keeper, not to fix and flip like some of those crappy car shows....my opinion of course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)



I don't care how well done the new repair is, the car will be "tainted" due to this new damage. Not saying it cannot be repaired correctly or darn near impossible to tell, but I would hope the new buyer would be forth coming with the repair since we've all seen it now!

Another negative to this car is the wheels. I love them, I also know that if one gets damaged beyond repair you'll be in the market for 4 new wheels since good luck getting another one.

Yes, the halves can be bought or made at $250 each, not cheap or easy.

Yup, that was my car. I sold it about 3 or 4 months ago. Sadly, sold it to the wrong person. Hope one of you guys can pick it up and rebuild her. Lots of good memories with that thing.

Might want a different screen name to change the karma.

Yikes....that e-bay pic is pretty carefully angled. How can he not show the drivers side in the ad? Door gap isn't terrible though.

Eek. Ya that front suspension is going to be tweaked if even just a small amount...

I agree, very careful photo chosen.

Just went to check current price... listing removed from Ebay. Last bid $2551 by b***b.

One of us make a cash deal?
Nevermind. Link here works. I click on it from my Ebay watch list and it says removed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Ebay programmers.

Sold for $2750, I was tempted to bid $2770 kinda glad I didn't. It was worth it in parts, but leaving it somewhere would've been difficult to manage. Let's see if it resurfaces somewhere

I fail to Understand how that car could be repaired, properly, and painted for 4K. Branded title. Might have been a deal at the sales price for the right person. For a parts flipper it would be a long hill before one is going to see any profits.

Hopefully someone saved the pictures so if it comes up for sale with a "never wrecked" in the description someone can call them on it!

I could see 4K, if you did it yourself, and carefully acquired the needed parts. Of course, this would mean MANY hours of yours unpaid to do the work.
