If you really feel bad about the car just sitting there, post the contact information and let someone else have a crack at it. The guy might sell when he sees a couple of Ben Franklins waving at him. It wouldn't be worth the money it would take to put it back on the road, but it is definitely worth parting out. I see a good spoiler and shaker, and under that protective layer of dust there may be some interior parts worth salvaging. It even has all four Rally 2 center caps to go with those wheels.

The car is located in Texas, but the location is undisclosed and its not going anywhere soon. Its a complete car with its W72 400. Its pretty rusty as you can see, but I wouldn't say its a parts car. The only way I'll ever buy it is if the owner comes down on the price, hes tried to sell it to me a lot, but hes pretty firm on $2500.

Unless I missed something here, you aren't letting anyone know where it is.

As for rust, have you seen some of the crusty muscle cars being restored? If someone truely wants a Can Am, then I think this car is worth saving. Out of the roughly 1300, who knows how many are left? If nobody wants this thing, I might just have to buy it later on down the road when I have some more room/bread. I think these CA's are a great investment and will definately bring some bucks down the road and we all know this. If you remember how the GTOs were and look at how the TA's have shot up recently, I even see the '80-81 301 cars bringing some crazy prices.

I'm still unsure of your intent, you hint around like you really want it sold, yet you repeatedly refuse to put anyone in contact with the owner. If he really wants to sell it, it shouldn't matter who he sells it to, as long as he gets paid.
Are you offering to broker this car? That always works.

I am still not convinced that it ever was for sale.
The VW guy, gearbanger56, deleted his last two messages in this thread. In the first one, he said for anyone that wanted contact information about this car should send him a private message. I sent him a private message asking him for the alleged contact information and he never replied.
In his second deleted post, that was posted eleven hours after the previous one, he stated that the car had sold for $1100.
Later that day, both posts were removed. Sounds like he BORKERED a deal for someone, bragged about it for a couple of hours, then deleted it.
He hasn't posted anything since.
So either
1. the whole thing was a scam
2. he is still sitting on the car, hoping to save enough to buy it himself one day
3. he hooked up someone with the owner's name and the owner sold it for less than half what he told gearbanger he wanted for it, in which case, if it were me, I would be telling the world about it.
But it isn't me, I have nothing to do with this car, the real owner, gearbanger56, or his alias [email protected].
But if someone did buy it, I am interested in some parts for my 1976 Lemans Sport Coupe if it is being parted out.
