Looks like that's rt 31 auto sales. They do similar stuff like gas monkey/fast n loud. I would steer clear

rcktdoc

Rough old girl but it would make a great parts car. That is RT31 in Mchenry.

I live about a half hour south from there on rt 31 I used to drive by there a lot and some of these cars had been fixed and weren't even 10 footers

RUFF!
But still...$2.5k at the most.
That one is screaming rebody me, PLEASE!

Allan R

^^^ what he said. Way to much rust for that ask. Everything from the floors and body has severe rust. It might need more than a rebody though. The frame could easily be that rough too. I agree with rcktdoc. Great parts car

oldcutlass

That car will disappear with the next wash. Can only imagine what the underside looks like. It's a parts car.

RROLDSX

Looks like a fresh Hurricane Sandy find. Someone had that treasure buried in salty sand until Sandy uncovered her. I say she should have been left in piece.

don71

I say is as "rust in piece"

redoldsman

I believe that car has been completely under water. If that is the case it is probably not even a good parts car.

don71

When was the last time you've seen that tire model. A looong time.

sammy

Never seen them before.....

rcktdoc

I guess you havent seen to many Illinois or Wisconsin cars. This is common rust around here.

Greg

Yep rktdoc hit the nail on the head. My car was a Wisconsin car only had 56k on it when I got it but it was rough. Rougher than this car to be honest.

ent72olds

Matt, are you on something? The other one is way cooler and a better value hands down, even at the asking price!

scott_442

What? No frame pics. They'll probably post some after they've scraped the barnacles off . And it looks like somebody started the body work on the drivers door. Probably didn't finish the first beer before DESPAIR set it. Love the color combination though.

bondovian

Can't believe they actually Armor All'ed the tires! LOL

Nilsson

This is not even a good parts car.

coppercutlass

IT'S rt31 auto sales anything goes lol. You know those stereotypical rip off dealerships this place fits the bill lol.

I'm not considering this car, just pointing out someone could buy this for $3000 and turn it into something... and Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhush on the other thing!

rcktdoc

The only way you could turn this into something is crush it and turn it into a 2015. It would take soooo much money to do anything with this car you would never see the light of day.

I would shove this steaming heap of elephant crap off a cliff just to witness the mushroom cloud it would make when it hit the ground.

Mr Nick

Ouch. It's worth the value of the hood, and engine, trans & rear end as cores.

J-(Chicago)

I wish I could apologize for my angst, but I'm just plain sick of seeing cars so horribly neglected for ridiculous prices. I don't understand how some people can even let them get that bad.
I understand they are old, but it takes a special kind of not giving a flying crap to get them that way.

If I don't have a use for it, and don't especially care a bunch about a car, I'll give it or sell it to someone who does.

I'm definitely no car snob. I drive total beaters religiously, but looking at that cool car in that condition is like watching roadkill twitch.

sammy

exactly,!!!.....

Mr Nick

J-(Chicago), my "ouch" comment was directed at the condition of the car, not your comment about rolling it off a cliff.

I do agree, way too many cars out there rotting away because the owner will restore it "someday." The vehicle condition gets away from them, and nobody gets to enjoy the car. Ever. Not like they make these anymore.

It's two miles from my grandparent's old bar on W Elm St.

rcktdoc

Im about 15 miles from There.
