Okay, this is another Ebay item. I have seen it up at least two times. What do you guys have to say? I always wonder when looking at these adds what condition the cars are REALLY in. This one is pretty close to me, but I think it has got some ISSUES!:yes:

Just a school teacher:hurray:, but I have worked at a body shop part-time and in the summers for about five years. I have been around cars my whole life and like most of you... I am a car addict! I have two 68 Chevelle ss, one 68 Camaro SS, and a 79 Malibu. The first 68 Chevelle SS I got from the original owner out of North Dakota. She still had pretty much all of her service records, bill of sale, etc. I put quarters, etc on that car. I guess pretty handy. Lot's of time in the summer. :cool:

3k range seems like reasonable starting price, would go much more than that. No motor no trans, no 12 bolt. Plan on redoing the qtrs. I'd bet there's some hidden rust. Nothing special about the dash and if been hacked up, plan on replacing that too. If your serious you need to see it in person. Looks like there was alot of rust at one time.

The quarters do look pretty interesting. I am thinking that that just primered over everything. Look at the gaps on the rear. They look horrible. Some of it might be how the bumper is hanging, but there are other issues.

Floors look solid, but there surely has to be something under that primer ;)

Looks like an ugly car someone primered to flip.
