Unfortunately it appears they decided to park it at the bottom of a saltwater marsh?

I also enjoy that it's listed in 'fair' condition. 

 

'Fair'ly rough? 

[Mike G]

To be fair he has dropped the price $11,000

 

still a ways to go though

 

[2002Scoob]

WHooooah. For reals? 16k?!

 

You gotta be joking.

I’m guessing he’s counting on the “driven mostly in San Fransisco” premium... ?

 

Or... wait... maybe it’s the “purchased in Europe” premium... ?

 

Damn lacquer! ?

It's actually at $5k now.

[AustrianVespaGuy]

Lol, now showing $5k, getting closer!

That's what I was thinking.  I'm never using lacquer again!  Maybe the barn it was parked in didn't have a roof.

I love how he claims it's never been in an accident, but still obviously requires bodywork lookin' at that bent nose panel, let alone all the other sins that shell is likely hiding.

 

Maybe he's just playing odds. There's that old old phrase of there's a sucker born ever minute... but given the population is on an exponential curve averaging 250 a minute these days...

 

Maybe it's a worthy gamble?

 

-Now slightly mortified I googled that we reproduce at a rate of 130 million a year as a species...

From what you can see it doesn't look that scary.  About 20 more photos would be nice, then it's just a matter of price.

This one looks far more interesting/ promising even if it is more $$$

From what I can see.. A 75 with lots of nifty goodies even some new uninstalled stuff.

Some kind of sport seats in there as well as the non 75 bumpers and euro turn signals and interesting wheels.

Seller appears way more forthcoming with info plus it runs!

What is the little white car in the background in pic # 3?

Looks like a mid-late 60s Alfa sedan...

Kinda rusty, but has a lot going for it. Funny how he has some new Rota  wheels for it, but the car already sits on the proper alloys... ?
