$1,500? Looks like it's a pile of rust in the shape of a car.

Isn't that called "Patina"? That's a heluva lota Patina for $1500.00
I wonder if the parts in the trunk are sitting on the gas tank.

Looks to be a few washes away from being a convertible.

Not TOO good, or you're liable to go right through... to the roof ribs.

Didn't this model use the Corvair trans axle?

If so that's what is holding up the spare parts.

I get that every time I take my 62 F-85 to cruise night...

No, only the Tempest used the transaxle. The Buick and Olds versions were conventional front engine and trans with solid rear axle.

You could lean on the car, then sit on the hood and you'd end up with a pair of matching Patina Pants.
