Quite an understatement, had a really good laugh when the link popped up!
I thought it was a Chrysler LeBaron that caught fire in planes trains and automobiles, but maybe it was this Cutlass

A lot of that looks like it would buff out, but no AC is a deal breaker for me.

On a serious note, I did not think the front seats would go that far back. Dang, talk about no rear seat leg room.

From the moss growing on the front floors , the seats may just be sitting in there, with no floor to attach to, the doors are the only not kinked panels maybe $300 firm for parts

What's the secret to denting a hood that way?

At least it is (or was) a nice color combination...reef turquoise and white. The owner may become more negotiable as it fills up with snow.

I can't believe the idiot wants $3,000 firm.

The thing is worth $300 tops at a scrap yard. It will eventually get crushed.

Looks like it has grass growing on the floor pans.

I think something was dropped on it. The dent in the hood matches the one in the trunk and the bent top bows. Something hanging off the side did the custom quarter dent.

Kind of reminds me of Tim the Tool Man's Nomad.

Or it was in a stack of cars at the salvage yard and someone pulled it out and is trying to sell it.

I love how the ad states, "Car runs and drives" yet it is being moved around by a tow chain and the interior has grass growing inside of it. I bet this car hasn't been run & driven in decades. The electrical is completely shot.

The price is "FIRM" as if people are breaking the seller's door down to own this nightmare.

Yes and perhaps the best part on that rolling wreck of a car, along with the console
