Hey at least he's not asking for 10,000. Sounds like he wanted to do the car up nice but like many others, ran out of time, money, space. Where he messed up was buying it in the first place. That car is full of rot and probably could have started with a better car to begin with. Or maybe he got in over his head.

 
That's fair money, IMO.

All of that stuff to go with it too? It'll sell.

That is my wife's dream car, the black one.

I passed on a '81 Turbo T/A Pace Car locally a few years ago. Wife and I were on our way to a restaurant and passed it on the roadside for sale.

Complete, straight and clean, minor trunk rust, original paint, leaky turbo gasket.

It had $1800 on the sign.

Drove it. Wanted it. Bad.

Went to eat, stopped back, car was now in the owner's garage. Sign was off the car, somewhere. Asked what he'd take for it (even though it was well worth the 18).

He said "Seventeen Five".

Too shocked to continue on, the conversation ended very abruptly. I felt like an idiot.

Drove home with our tails between our legs, very disappointed.

Can't believe we thought the guy really wanted only $1800 for a super-easy $8K car. We could have SWORN it said $1800, and was FAR to embarrassed to ask to see the sign again.

A year later I found out from one of his neighbors that it sold for $1600.

Yes, Sixteen Hundred.

The owner meant Seventeen FIFTY. Not Seventeen Five.

Ugh.

With all that stuff, it's a pretty good project. Closer and if I had space, it hits my list of possibles. But then, I always did like basket cases for some reason.

 
That is a serious pile. If it were me, I'd be trying to get rid of it via parting it out. I hope the reassembly instructions are included.

 
I have crushed better and more complete cars than that,lol.
