Obviously needs some work but it looks like it is pretty much all there, which is huge.  Considering that I haven't any thing but rusty POS, no engine 70-71 cudas around here all for more than $12k I think that one might be a decent deal, especially for a driver.

That's exactly what my brother said. Seems a little high to me but the fact that everything is there is huge. There are a lot of people with deep pockets thesez days as well. Seems like a lot of them go overseas somewhere. Wish I had deep pockets, that would be a perfect match for my '71 Challenger except for interrior color. :banana: :yes:

I'd love to see that one RESTORED as delivered, it will be a long road back and an AMD car when done though.

Everything always centers upon price and restore costs.
That car is pretty rusty and needs a lot of work in critical areas
Judging by the amount of rust on the rear axle and even the shocks, this car was exposed to moisture. 
The owner states the frame rails are in good shape.
That is a good sized rot hole in the torsion bar cross member.
Bottom of the door jams and sill are damaged.
Trunk floor and may be the extensions, bottom of both quarters at a minimum
Driver's side fender is rotted on top edge by the engine compartment
Of course the driver's side floor is gone.

Owner's description of a "few holes here and there"
If you media blast the car; HOW much would be left?
It definitely is an AMD dream car. And the fender tag is missing.

I love E body convertibles and own one and always lean toward trying to save everyone of them.
It is not a $27k car, no matter how you "cut it"
Car needs 10-12 K worth of AMD metal just to get started.. And you better know how to weld!  $27 K REALLY

Hope the buyer has deep pockets and a dream of a HEMI CLONE!
Am I the only pessimist here, Or am I off on this?

Yeah: With that rust, when you hit that one with the blaster it's all going to disappear. I didn't check the codes but I love the look of it with the pale green, road wheels and the side trim, it's really got a neat look to it.

I never liked rust buckets. The unknown always scares me. $$$

Living in the rust belt, I have had more than my share of rust in my life already.  A flat hood car in light green surely would certainly be unique in most shows among the sea of high impact original and clones, but sadly that car needs way more work than I would ever want to put into a car.
