    Great parts car. Looks like a nice dash pad. Almost worth the price of admission right there.

    Major rusty in that part of the country.

    Not a good sign when you're thinking new hood, roof panel and trunk lid (and needing the V8 crossmember for a swap) just from looking at a couple pictures.....

    My buddy looked for one of these forever and finally found one, although, he had to unload it because the rust was just too bad. This one, from what I can tell, is in a LOT better shape than his. I just sent him the link. Yes, I'm sure the rust is more than most folks are wiling to tackle, but he has wanted one for a long time and the 2-door box tops are hard to come by.

    It doesn't look that bad, but I'd like to see inside the engine bay and the underneath of it. For the price it's worth it if it turns into a parts car situation.
