For $2500 it seems like a good project. Definitely has an ugly interior though!

lol, its like a pimp exploded in there, I hate when I see this interior in car shows. On the west coast it's still used in lowriders

Ugh! And a badly done fake convertible top to boot! I say just pull the engine--if it has one--and burn it where it stands.

It doesn't have the little dog on the package tray with the head that moves up and down.

What a piece. Pull the engine and then crush the car.

It has a "350 Golden Rocket" engine...with one blue valve cover.

I've seen less for more ..... at least it doesn't have a LS engine in it ..... yet!

though the vice-grips are a nice accessory

Frame looks ok. It could be fairly solid. For that price it aint a bad start if the shell is good. Have ta inspect in person. Wonder if those are USA or Irwins new Chinese version of junk vice grips?

You could just update it a little ... some nice 22s with spinners on sexy O-ring tires, a new digital dash, a chrome steering column and an LS swap and you'd be in business!

I noticed that too. It's surprising. With all that other mess, what sticks with me is the blue valve cover.

Wow that's harsh. Big job but it could be cleaned up and a nice ride. I'd offer $1500. Looks to be stalled for years.

Wait is that a cruise control lever or just a scratch?

Maybe the blue valve cover was to match the interior...or perhaps it was the inspiration for the interior?

Looks like a floor shift tilt column laying between the seats?

Car does look salvageable depending on what the roof metal is like. That interior wouldn't take long to disappear. Just an assault on the eyes as it sits now.
