Always so sad to see at car get that far gone. Shame. Cool car new. Looks too far gone to me. I am so grateful that I don't know rust the rust states do.









What a shame.

Wow, factory disc brake 4-speed car. And being Canadian it probably has a Chevy 12-bolt too. What a shame.

`Oh man this is the perfect beater car. Go there with $2500 or even 3k, take it home. Tune it up, brakes, a couple of seats, and eventually a trunk lid maybe some better bumpers and have fun. I know it needs more love but I've seen worse, that's what a beater is all about.

Being from the rust area, and having been through as much rust, I may be crazy. But I see potential.

Well I hope you have your Fred Flintstone brakes to go along his floors. The trunk floor and the interior floors are wasted. No telling how bad the frame is. That and the fact that the air cleaner lid is missing I am guessing that motor is shot. Check the corrosion on that alternator.

That car needs several thousand spent on it just to be driveable.. Not saying it shouldn't or can't be saved, but there are far better choices for a DD.

Looks like it has the wood steering wheel too! At least it won't rust, but may have termites...

Uh, its not real wood. Not the factory steering wheels anyway.

I see some parts, but sitting outside in the weeds certainly took its toll on the frame and underbelly.
