'71 2800CS M/T with A/C in Hemmings 15K

Looks good for the price! I think that prices are down this year compared to last...

Front frame rail is perforated by rust, not a good sign.

Note to self, look at all pics. I am truly amazed at how inconsistently these things rust. Most cars have a pattern but each e9
is a special rusty snowflake.
 
And dash wood delaminated by water intrusion doesn't bode well for rockers and other areas. Ten footer pics don't look bad though, isn't that always the case?

The dashboard looks painfully familiar. When the time comes, I will be posting what the back side of a dash like that looks like...

Man, that looks like such an honest car.

EDIT: Nevermind, thought it was original paint. still doesnt look to be a horrible car.

Agree with the "honest" look of the car, especially how straight the lower rocker pieces look, of course they'll likely need replacing. The only "dishonest" picture is #48 where the rust seems to be coming through some body filler?

So, 15K will buy you a car that needs a complete teardown and restoration :-)
 
That looks much like my car looked like when I bought it, there were signs of rust but looked pretty decent overall. Now I know what a car like that can hide :)

As soon as you dig into it, it will probably need everything.
