Whoever bought it just wanted a real six and probably figure they can build the car over time and come out OK. I built a six that started out in almost that exact condition, a stripped tub. Took 3 years off and on working on it, but it turned out great!

 Are you going to take a chance when the VIN looks like this on the chassis? Unreadable last bunch of digits.... I'd be sick to my stomach if I'd just spend $18k and received a car with the chassis Vin in this kind of shape (and not be advised of this). Luckily it was there in all the pics of the car, so the buyer had full opportunity to see this and hopefully make an informed decision. To me this was a questionably wise purchase....only time will tell. |

Another possible reason, one is so obsessed with obtaining a - 6 chassis it blurs .... |

Just read the entire thread and I think the initial comment about the eBay post sums it up the best: "worlds biggest jigsaw puzzle"

The seller was one. The other was the condition of that vin. It's not even in the "traditional rust prone area" , and it looks that bad. Can't imagine what the blue paint was hiding. |
