What $12,500 (asking) will buy you for a project roundie

[Mike Self]

For sale by a dealer in Cleveland, and from the looks of tinworm ravages, has spent its entire life there.  Especially note the location of the tow ring on the spare tire well's underside...

The VIN is less than 400 away from my sunroof Sahara '73; wouldn't "trade up" for a newer VIN though...

That's quite funny. I wonder what happened there 🤔

For $12,950 I would expect it to have a shift nob.

 

Another special Flintstones edition car.

 

I'm guessing the spare tire well was replaced and welded on backwards.

They are delusional, that cars rotten eveywhere.

no key tumbler in ignition and what’s with that front driver side wheel? 
Is it all skewed offl like that because the lift pad is  on the control arm?

Appears to be no other place solid enough To lift from. 
Wouldnt give $800 for it. Well, maybe $800 only because I could use the roof on Franzi.

Everytime I see something like this I mentally revise my pairs estimated value. Upwards.

My lord... 

 

Other than trim there is nothing redeeming to me about that car... That poor thing is in dismal shape, I wouldn't take it for scrap. That the rear subframe cross-member is swiss-cheese'd  is terrifying. 

 

Non-starter.

Nothing a roll of Alabama chrome and some wood screws can’t fix!!

Most cars in that condition don't get that much photography when online for sale.  Delusional  but honest?

Looks like the entire front fascia was grafted on from a 74 or later…amazing the tenacity of that pedal box just hanging on for dear life.

FWIW

In May it was for sale on facebook in Poughkipsie, NY, for $8k. Don't think the latest Seller has even washed it.

I'm headed through Cleveland tomorrow, and

I'll have a couple hundred cash on me- anyone in for a part- out?

 

t

bought that car in 2006 for $300, because it had a real roundie nose

and grilles, and he'd punched in the nose on his race car.

Whenever you see a car hawked by a vintage car dealer (e.g. inside a structure with rows of Porsches and Alfas), nine times out of ten you know it's not only no bargain, it's stupid money. Every once in a while you'll see a shop trying to move a car quickly for a customer who's bailing out of it, but it's rare, and when you do, it likely means that the shop didn't want to buy it either, and that tells you something.
