that's funny, i know that car. it's in an RV park off of allenby road in duncan. i saw it there a year or two ago and had dreams of buying it. part of me would like to fix it up and sell it but part of is tired of that game right now. maybe next year.

i emailed the guy, just got this response:

"The car has been park the last 7 years it runs an has a lot of rust it is an automatic . It moves fine just rusty."

If I had room in my driveway, I'd seriously consider buying it and fixing it up. After all, it's only $150. It's worth that even for a few random parts.

yes, you could certainly turn a profit on it. i don't imagine the rust is as bad as he thinks it is. then again, while the last project terc i fixed up had only cosmetic rust issues, it was still a huge PITA to paint new front fenders and put them on. so many of the bolts were rusted into dust so i spent a lot of time drilling and tapping threads in awkward spots. i don't think i want to do that again for a while.
