Sonic went and looked at it. Met a nice gal who was selling it. It was her fathers car. The ad isn't too far off condition wise, but open to interpretation. The front stubframe had a hole at the back where it meets the floor and was crusty ahead of that. The trunk had rust around the wheel wells, both quarters were rusted above and behind the wheels. Interior shot, both bumpers needed restoring, grille was bent in the middle. Non A/C car. Engine seized with spark plugs out.
Positive side, had all window trim that looked pretty damn good, grille trim on good and fenders good too. Headlight bezels usable. Taillights pretty good, pass side had chrome starting to flake. Trunk inserts decent. Emblems and lettering was there and good enough for a driver.
I offered her a super low price after I told her I though she was way off on the price. She told me it was best offer. Told her I thought is was a parts car and she said maybe she would piece it out.
I took my Polara out there and that made her day. She was checking out the differences between the two cars and asked what I had done to mine, so that was cool.
So I wasn't too surprised to see what I saw, and I got to take the Polara out for some good highway miles, letting the engine purr along at 2800 rpm (70ish) for 40 some miles there and back, on a beautiful day/night. I'll find my parts car someday, I hope, but this one isn't it. Some good parts to be had though.
