It looked great until I saw all the frame repairs. Oh boy.

17,900 for a car with a chit frame and Mickey mouse floors! I have parted cars with better frames than that! I do like the color combo though! And it's kind of a low option car but a prized convertible!

Looks like a leaking filler neck on the gas tank (must keep it a 1/4 LOL) and are those poorly run trans cooling lines (or incorrect radiator? Leaky neck too)! Ill keep what Ive got thank you very much...   Bill

I might stop by there just to see it. Looks like the rear quarters lack the body line definition too. I?ve never seen that car around here before.

..... those poorly run trans cooling lines ......

The brake and fuel lines have been spliced together too!

At least the seller is showing pics of these areas.

Would the blue dash and steering wheel be correct for a red car?

I think they are gray, not blue Glenn, which is correct for a car with white interior.  Carpet and kick panels are gray also and the front doors have gray carpet inserts.

She?s pretty rough on the whole drivers side. Anything can be fixed,but I do not see a whole lot of difference between a parts car and a driver when you consider time and restoration cost. If you want a driver,better off to buy a dry western or southern car. I have seen many?low mileage? cars the past few years that do not have anything correct or original about them and they seem to be selling the story rather than the rusty parts. Some of you guys(the list is longer than I want to put.....lol)have very nice cars that would cost thousands of dollars to replace that your typical guy would compare to a car like this one. It isn?t until you pay or have to replace a nice car on your own time that you understand the real price range. There are only three levels....parts,rust free driver,restored. A driver can have a cracked dash,ripped seats,primered,etc....but you restore a car that needs all the details it adds up a lot faster.
