Radio opening hasn't been all hacked up. And it runs.
Looks kind of like someone found a barn car, didn't touch it except for messing with the engine. Strange collection of good stuff and bad stuff. Doesn't look like it's been in any major collision. Would be interesting to know the story behind it.

That's exactly what draws me to it...at least as a curiosity. It looks almost as if you could swap out a lot of the sheetmetal and actually have a $16K car pretty much. Would love to see under the carpet and pics of it on a lift. Even the steering wheel looks 90% intact. Those wheels hardly ever survive that well.
