64 f85 Vista Cruiser

I have an opportunity to buy this. Its been parked for 10 years. The only things missing are radiator, rear side glass, and 3 of the 4 top windows are either broke or gone. 2 seat car. Interior is complete. Body is in decent shape. It does have a salvage title. Any idea of what it is worth? May part it out...

Too far gone in my opinion. Parts car maybe worth 500.

Cool car and not often seen, but the top windows will be tough to get.

Went and looked at it today. Its pretty well gone.Body is straight. It does have a decent dash and chrome trim. Has power steering and brakes. Original motor and trans. If anyone needs some parts, I am be able to talk him into selling some of them before it all rots away.

The top windows are pretty common, not too hard to find at all. They are shared 64-67 on Olds Vistas and Buick Sportwagons.

OK... I know I'm a packrat! If you got room and the price is right you might drag it home to clean it up. See just how bad the rust/rot is. Maybe it's toast and maybe it's not. At the very least you could have a good parts car for trade stock or save for parts while you look for a better one. My 2 cents.

All the windows in the roof are broken and gone. The car is sitting in the dirt. The rear axle has the cover off and half filled with mud. All the exterior chrome is still decent. Dash area is all good. You can see the ground through the interior of the car. Front clip needs patch panels behind wheelwells. Engine compartment is all complete. Non-ac car.
