NMNA, I think we've seen this car posted before a couple of times on CL. Now he's looking to sell parts, and the remaining body w engine that have been exposed to the elements for a while. He points out that the spare tire well doesn't have the typical rust, but that may be one of the few places that isn't rusted in the typical ways. There are many visible in the photos.

but WHAT is there is serious rot ... on the plus side, the metal coolant tank doesn't look beat to crap!
 
the front bumper (underside) looks pretty decent, so do the aluminum B pillar trims. the stainless sill trims look reasonably good.
 
Hey, it's got a decent brass rad tank. That's worth at least half his asking price!
 
(A) glaring problem is that he is listing the car for $10500 but then proceeds to tell you that everything you're looking at in the pictures is available separately. Nice bumper? Separate. Seats? Separate. Interior for restoration? Separate. So you're paying $10k for a transmission, a shell with lots of rust and then a bunch of engine parts that it doesn't seem like many people are going to want. Not sure even for $5k what you'd do with it.

Yes… I talked to him long long ago about the car. It’s a freaking mess and a half. He started parting it out a few years ago…. Starting with the tail lights. He’s an interesting cat. Little eccentric. At this point it really needs parted out correctly and let the rest return to the earth.
