69 2002 parts car in the PNW

[Gordon]

A moment of silence before you view this link

http://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/1941157640.html I don't think it will buff right out. Looks like it has a good sunroof clip plus lots of other parts. Contact the seller for more info.

Yes, sad. Looks like the entire body might be twisted a bit, and it's tough to tell if putting it on a frame machine will straighten it out enough where one can then replace panels. Also tough to tell the condition of the rest of the car from the pictures.

Here's the rest of the story regarding the parts car

http://kpr.craigslist.org/cto/1952902512.html Notice no pics of the 76 02... and you have pics of a wrecked parts car, go figure.

Gordon, if I didn't know better, I'd think you're trying to tempt me into buying the '69! Given my past history of buying round taillight 2002s with rear body damage and driving them hither and yon across the country, I'd be in trouble.

Alas, I have no spare time, my money should be spent elsewhere, and a driveway full of projects.

But I'll call the seller for more info. maybe I can convince someone else for a change.

add a Rabbit pickup box to the back and...

BTW, the other ad shows the interior of an E30, not the '76 he's trying to sell...

heh, I did call the guy yesterday.

Both cars need work to run, as the alternators have been removed and they need fresh batteries. It sounds like some of the wiring may be bodged as well.

The '69 supposedly has a rebuilt engine, but it's tough to tell just what was replaced and who did the work. The struts/shocks/suspension has been replaced, but I think I heard the word Midas in there somewhere. Uh oh. Exhaust was replaced, but don't know the quality. He got it that way and hasn't been able to test it, and really hasn't been able to go through either car thoroughly.

The '69 seems to have minimal rust, and he says that whatever mashed the trunk was tall, as the floor area looks pretty good.

He really wants to sell both cars together to get rid of them.

I wish it was closer, and if it was Nevada, I might be in trouble....anybody here interested in the '76?
