Wow! That car is in bad shape. I just can't take on another major project. I hope someone wants it.

First thing that caught my eye. 500.00$

Look closely at the gear selector & turn signal stalks for example. Is that rust?

 

[1978 NYB]

Mike, check your messages. I just PM'd you.

Me too. It was a Michigan car so it got the Morton treatment pretty thoroughly.
The vinyl parts of the interior ain't bad.

Yup....one of the first things I saw too...bad omen. Probably been sitting under the moss tree for years, soaking up heat & humidity. Parts car now....I wouldn't drive it with that swiss cheese frame. Grab the 400/727/8.75 drivetrain and send the rest to the junkyard.

Looks like it was in a Floridian flood ...... Gary says pull the drive line, I suspect thats exactly what the buyer will do

I hope someone saves the seats and makes a Spring Special clone.

 

[polara71]

Ever see a couch or a mattress out in the trash, along the curb, in the rain? Thats what those seats smell and feel like....

Oh my

What a shame

Did he still have that little Navajo badge from the vinyl top? Probably not but I'll bet those are pretty rare.

Very good point Bryan!

What a difference from being a 20 foot looker and a 1 foot looker. Salvage only. Out here he would have to get Pick & Pull to come out and pick up the car as it would sit on Craigslist forever. Too bad.

After a little more research I'm wondering if it had any special identification .. i was thinking of the Polar spring special badge in tbm3fan's polara thread.

Maybe a repost but I found this

 

[70NPORT]

Oh my

What a shame

Yeah, that's ugly.

 

[commando1]

Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh. What a hobby.
You laugh.
You cry...........

 

[70NPORT]

I don't do hobbys.

 

[commando1]

Bull. You're into this hobby up to your ears.
