I want to convert my '61 Bonneville convertible into a bubble top.
Know of any Impala sport coupes around that I can hack?

When you can see the rust holes in the hood, it's NOT a good sign.

From the pictures, what I saw were 3 GTOs (maybe) in such rough condition that you MIGHT be able to construct ONE vehicle out of them. IF your motivation is to save these autos from extinction AND you have unlimited funds, that's commendable. In reality, these Goats are too far gone to reasonably restore.

Those are parts cars. Too bad they were allowed to deteriorate to their present condition.

Looks like it might actually be well engineered. Could even be somewhat water tight.
And, when you take the top off, you can just put it in the bed of the truck.

And some clowns think old Pontiac parts are forged out of unobtanium.

This guy originally also wanted $2k for his crusty bumper.

Those doors are obviously from a Judge, hence the high price

I was thinking RA-4 convertable standard GTO, and the nose must have come from New Orleans and was off of a 72 H/O Formula?

He could have at least taken a water hose to the bumper.

That header panel is severely twisted. Looks as if the car it was on had a tree fall across the hood and sat that way for years.

That driver side headlight pointed up to the trees is a rare option called "Raccoon Light"

Somebody already picked up that free Camaro and passed it through e-Bay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/262162651216...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

They pulled the motor & trans out of it first - wonder what they were.

The ebay ad stated no title, so the drive train was probably the only salvageable portion of the car, even if it was only a std 350 with a powerglide.

10 years of being in the open around here pretty much renders everything a useless rust heap.
