That's what I call a 'toss and turner'....You'll either toss and turn all night wondering why you didn't buy it when you had the chance...or you'll toss and turn all night wondering why didn't walk away from it when you had the chance..
I'll bet it's pretty dang crusty underneath.

I think I found it's twin, and yes I'll probably wish I'd look into this one..

You may want to buy both...between the two of them, you might have enough to make one good one. Still, a ton of metal replacement appears necessary.

Yeah, that's a good one. It's a shame too as it looks very original. More pics would have been nice. Trunk, interior and floors, under-hood.

Here's an ad for some guy or guys that are promoting their classic car restoration services. You can see from their pics (and pics of pics) that they are top notch.

Ever notice how so many "CanAm guys" have a decent driver CanAm, one that too often sets outside, rain, snow, whatever, then they have 2 or 3 half rotten CanAm project cars setting outside in the elements? It's almost like the CanAms come home to roost

Man, it hurts seeing those two in that kind of condition. If I didn't have two Trans Am's to complete I would scoop up one and tackle it.

The sad part is, they'll probably never see the road again unless someone like us were to buy them.

Those older crew cabs are becoming hot commodities now - couldn't give them away 20 years ago!

I made one into a wrecker using a Holmes 500 wrecker body. Truck was going to the junkyard. I swapped the guy a 700R that needed to be rebuilt for it. Got the push bumper along with the deal for $50.00 It's not road worthy, I just use it around the yard, that winch is amazingly powerful. It was being used a dog house in Arizona when I found it. Dog was NOT happy.

In logger lingo, those 3X3 crews are "The Crummy".......

I saw a custom built 3X3X3 crew last week here Dually, 4WD, with a section cut in with the third row. It looked pro done. Had a long 8' bed also. That thing was BIG.

Ouch! I'm actually surprised the car held up as well as it did. Such a sad sight

Surprised it didn't burst into flames. Someone was watching over that guy.
Not a bad parts car for someone with a '65 coupe. I bet the front seat(s) are reclining now.

I feel the same about this one. I was kicking around the idea of bidding. But Ive promised myself whatever I buy next wont need paint. I do really dig 62 GPs though
