That had to be a great car when it was new.
Wonder what the upper pan looks like? It may be the only thing holding the hood together. Curiosity though, ad states been sitting 6 years? Unless it was sitting at the bottom of a lake, think it may have been sitting a little longer than 6 years.

Very cool car and crusty is being generous. Gonna take a lot of talent and $$$$$ to bring it back to life.

Looking at the pictures, I don't see much that's salvageable. Maybe the rear end and the transmission, and some misc trim......
More of a parts car than a restoration project.....sad.... |

One thing that looked off to me. A/C bracket but says it has 3.55 gears. Not available (that I know of) on an A/C car. Couldn't get the pictures up right to where I could see the firewall.

The 455 is gone and has a 400 in it. It was on CL for $5,000 last month in Alabama.

I would imagine the frame is in equally poor condition, which places this in the "beyond resto" category to me.
