It could be a good rust free shell for someone.

Well that is always a possibility, I've started with less. Just really bothers me to see any cool old car go the way of dirt trackin.

There was one on there about a year ago where someone did all the trouble of putting a cage in a T-Top for dirt tracking before he checked the rule book. No T-top cars! DOH lol.....

If it wasn't so damn far away from me I'd probably buy it. Of course I don't know if the neighborhood association would like that setting in the driveway, and I don't think I could talk my wife out of her garage space.

LOL Agreed on all of the above especially the comment of turning it into a track car!

$50 is a deal for that. I'd drive a few hours to go pick it up if I didn't think I need another hulk like a hole in the head ;-)

You know it never fails, seems like anytime I find a car on ebay that might be a good deal it's on one coast or the other....and of course I'm right in the middle of it all, too damn far either way to travel for a cheap car.
