I agree with Snake.

The car has obviously been mistreated, and used for joy rides.

Use your Power Wagon to pull him out of the next ditch.

it slid on ice and went into the ditch, do you honestly think dallas (mobodyman) would joyride and mistreat that car?

and it's not even really bent, its the k frame that is bent and a little part of the radiator support
 
Looks like the quarters are shot in the rear and around the wheel well, at least in the one view. How is the rest, trunk, floor etc. Might be to rusted.
 
i go look at it sunday i will make my descision then, he told me it was pitted through in a few places but so is my truck, on the front fender i have about a 3inch rust hole so it cant be much different
 
i think, as one that buys them, fixes them up, and sells them, that you are not getting a good deal at all. matter of fact. not to be ignorant, i think you are nutz!. trust me, there is more damage than pulling the frame rails. DO NOT FORGET, THESE CAR DO NOT HAVE FULL FRAME RAILS, SO WHAT EVER TWISTED, ALSO THROUGH THE FLOORS, INNER FENDERS, TRANS CROSSMEMBER AND ALOT OF OTHER ITEMS COMPLETEY OUT OF LINE.

THE WAY THAT CAR SITS, IT MAY BE WORHT 800.00 AS THE INTERIOR IS NOT THAT NICE, HAS ALOT OF RUST, AND BIG THING, IS IT IS STILL ONLY A 318 CAR.

YOU MAY NOT LIKE TO HEAR IT, BUT I AM TELLING YOU..............

YOU WILL HAVE TO CUT OUT THE FRONT FRAME RAILS, INNER FENDER, THE ENTIRE RAD SUPPORT, AND INSTALL ALL NEW OUT OF ANOTHER CAR. IF NOT, THERE IS NO WAY THAT CAR WILL DRIVE " IN TRACK" WITH ITSELF EVER AGAIN.

in my professional opinion, and i have done it before, that car will need 60 hrs minumum on a frame machine, and it adds up quick. unless you have a friend that does it for a living and will do it for free!
 
ALSO, YOU SAY IT IS REALLY NOT BENT!. I DO BODY WORK AND ALL SORTS FOR A LIVING. i can tell just by looking at the picture of the driver side, that the nose of the car is pusshed to the passenger side by at LEAST 3 INCHES!.


HOW BOUT YOU POST A PICTURE OF LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AND THEN YOU WILL SEE THAT THE CLIPS IS OFFSET TO THE PASSENGER SIDE!
 
No, that front pic will not suffice. You need to get one with the camera at dead center of car looking into the front windsheil
you say he has all the parts. Does he have both inner fender wells, both frame rails and complete rad support?
