It states the wiring is not a hack job , but if you look at the pic of the inside the wiring is hanging down & all screwed up.

Oh c'mon! Just a little bit of work and that thing will be fabulous!



They must make quite a few of them- there are pictures all over the internet. I've got to imagine that a huge percentage of them end up like the car in the ad. Half finished hack jobs.

Apparently you could buy them all done. Not surprisingly they came out of Florida in the '80s!

Definitely underpriced. Anything around Southern Cal that runs good enough to daily drive is worth $2,000. That one's got a V8 and is all the same color, so it's worth more. It must be WAY far from the Bay Area.

Yep, and then you still have the bumpers, quarters and fenders!

I thought a grand was a deal too. Its up in the foothills...about an hour and a half from here. I thought about going after it... I need that like I need another hole in the head.... talked myself out of it...

Will 4 door car parts work with a 2 door car? Seems like the fenders and quarters would be different.

Front clips are the same. Rear quarters are different in front of the wheelwells, probably the same behind them.

On a different note, I wonder if the "more pictures on request" would be any different than the ones posted in the ad...

Seeing that busted out window makes me think it was stolen at one time...

A lot of stuff that car will work on the two door..Pretty much everything from the windshield forward... and on the back side, trunklid, bumper, lights, etc. Back glass is different but there are tons of things that could be useful. Even the quarters are good for patches on the two door cars as long as it's behind the wheel opening.
Of course it would be a great driver, as is.

Well, it's only $2000, right?

Judging by the oxidation, that looks like a factory aluminum intake with a crossover.

There is a Holley carb on it. It's probably some older aftermarket intake.

Looks fairly solid to me. $2000?.....Might be worth it after a closer look...
