Too Rough To Save?

longarm said
It's not a matter of being able to fix it,
I don't want or need a project of this magnitude.
I'm way past my prime and know what it entails
to restore a machine in this condition.
I've got several projects going right now that need
more time and money than I can spend and still
chase women, drink, fish and hunt.
I was interested in finding out if anyone would tackle
something like this and what it would be worth.
It's not a complete car and needs a lot af parts and tons
of repair, not for the faint of heart restoration.
When I tell you it has a hole in every single panel
I'm not kidding!
The blasting exposed every rust pit, weak spot and hole.
The package tray is the only thing without damage.
I was thinking of it as a parts car only until this thread.

Take some pictures, stick it on ebay and be done with it, I've seen e-bodies in similar shape go for $500-1500 on there. I say it's plenty fixable and I'm sure there are several people who would be totally ready to do it.

I've been in the same situation before, I had a '70 Charger R/T, it had been flooded several times in the junkyard it was at before I drug it home. Paid $1000 for it about 8 years ago. It had no engine or trans but it was a factory top banana yellow 440 4-speed R/T. It had holes in everything, tops of the quarters, top of the roof (hood was sitting on it). I had high hopes for it, had even found a new roof for the car, but I came to the same realization you have, I had 8 other projects at the time... I sold the grille, the bucket seats, the clutch pedals... then I sold the whole car.

As much as I would've loved to keep it, it would've rusted into the ground before I could save it. I sold it to a friend and luckily someone in PA got it from him and is restoring it.
