So either a decoy or a 1979 SR
Can't say for sure its even a Rochester , might be a Carter Qjet

No PwrStr , No PwrBrks
Barebone stripper type

Its definitely been a Coastal Florida car for long enough.
Will need everything , as in Everything.
As Hobi would say - a 4 Rivet Restoration

Has already made reserve @ 21k with 5 days left
Maybe Hobi should resurrect the Rizzo report?

Anyone else absolutely hate reading the ridiculously bloated and over the top descriptions for these cars on BaT?

This one is actually on Barn Finds .
I didn't even know they had an auction site.

But I agree , they get a little bloaty .
This one in particular seems way too sympathetic.
A Florida hood in that condition - should probably try to be saved ?

You'd be lucky if even the seats can be re-used for cores.
This car is ready to start popping holes in all kind of crazy places from the inside out.
When you see a Florida car in this shape , only expect the very worst.

I like the car and hope someone can save it.
But its going to be a cowl swap or a 4RivetResto , and a marked car.

I think Rizzo went to work for BaT as a shill bidder .
Raking in the dough , instead of shoveling out the sh'it .

And Hobi seems to have disappeared , along with the MetalFinisher.

Probably in business together now .
