Title: Got Rust?
Post by: Mike S on September 21, 2014, 06:38:32 AM

 I've seen some rust buckets in my time but this one takes the lead role.
Looking at the grass below the car through the rusted floor boards reminded me of the Flintstones car.

The opening bid should be more like $250 or $500... and NOT $1500.

Don't know if I could even get $75 scrap price at the local junk yard considering whatever metal is or isn't there..

With this description what do you expect?
“Needs almost all new sheetmetal. Frame rusted out no engine or trans does not roll very well”
does not roll very well...

Nothing that a little WD40 and duct tape couldn't fix.
Besides, I love the phrase, D.N.R.V.W... Certainly explains a lot of car problems I've seen.

If a Camaro Specialty place is dumping it then you know it's a loss cause.  The term "doesn't roll very well" must be a lose term for drag since there's no sub frame.  ;D  How about pay me $75 just to come and tow it away.

This is the line that made me grin:

"It will require trailering home OR WE CAN MAKE IT SMALLER for shipping if desired"  :~D

With what?  a blow torch?!?!?!  -HA!

on second thought......From a business standpoint, Bob should really be giving that car away to the first trailer that shows up.  He can then sell back all the pieces he took off of it to the new owner.

A new complete convertible bottom chassis assembly can be purchased for $4200. Just put the top of this car on it. A coupe bottom is $3900.
