Was the plan for it to be a derby car?

I hope not...even if, at least he's decided to sell it so hopefully it can be used for parts instead of being destroyed into an unrecognizable mess...

Firewall has been welded so no heater holes or place for bulkhead connector..
Has a nice steering coupler tho.....

It IS a destroyed, unrecognizable, mess.

And all rusted where they welded it.

If someone were to try to get it back on the road then yeah..but for a parts car? there's a lot of useful stuff left..floors, roof, front and rear quarters...I would've said doors too but looks like the door handles have been shaved..

also, this is more in tune with what I would call a destroyed, unrecognizable, mess...

Side markers were filled in also. Derby cars don't use fuel cells in trunk.
Most likely a botched pro street project.

Maybe he decided it wouldn't work real well putting the fuel cell through the also very large hole in the hood.

Someone needing a donor for roof, dutchman, fenders, floors, rockers and quarters it may be worth it. No mention of what happened to all the other parts.

Hey, hey! Are you calling the seller a liar?? RUST FREE!

I have spend many a summer, and some winters, in the Santa Cruz Hills. With all the moisture there the seller wants me to believe a car without windows is rust free?

Well yes Scott I believe I am.

Rollers (and rickshaws) should be banned!

Looks more like a race car project because of the heater box openings in the firewall being welded up.

Not to mention the hole in the hood.

I think this one was at the Fling in Van Nuys last year. Looks familiar...

LOL! Whatever, he ****** that car up. I like "rust free" and he can't bother to wipe the water off the floor pan.
