I wish it would but I don't think he's going to sell it unless he gets at least the money he has into it back plus a little more. I can't get 6k for my rust free 69 AMX project car and I'm sure he wants more than that for this car. If he stuck it on Craigslist he'd probably get about 2 dozen...

"Packrat, yes this guy is the guy I hate. They don't have the skills or inclination to restore the car and they usually don't store them correctly resulting in the car deteriorating. I believe it is all about the attention or they get their jollys from turning down offers from people who would...

If I could have bought it 25 years ago before it turned into this pile it never would have ended up like this. The only reason the PO kept the car and let it rot was because he knew there were people like me that wanted it. He enjoyed the attention and the fact that he had it and someone else...

Personally I think he's just going to get it mechanically dependable enough to drive around in seeing as he has plates and insurance on it. I think he'll consider it his "barely a survivor" car. :cool: Better than what the last owner did with it, anyway. At least it won't get driven much -...

Well, we're not opportunists but we're not rich, either. :) I don't think dumping hundreds of man-hours into a project like this to break even or lose money is in the cards. We both have our own cars that we're doing that to already. LOL

In order to do a proper resto the car isn't worth it in my opinion - unless you owned a body shop. It would need fenders, quarters, trunk, 1 rocker, and roof replacement at the least. There's some rust through on the cowl and both front fenderwells that could probably be patched. It also has...

Well, first I want to thank you guys for the info you supplied on the sunroof cars. As a guy that's only been here a couple days I didn't realize there were a thousand threads just like this here and that they're irritating to some. I thought this car was unusual enough to have a conversation...

Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuse me. :rolleyes: I never said this car was super collectible or worth a million bucks. It's not even mine. I was just trying to get some info on it. Maybe you shouldn't bother to read posts like this . . . . and for sure not to comment on them. That would probably make...

LOL ! It's the combination of all the parts that makes it odd. It has disk brakes. MEH yourself. :p

I can probably take a decent pic of the sheet the next time I'm over there. The owner says the seats came from a junkyard car from what he knew but that doesn't mean it didn't get rolled out of it eventually. I knew about the early decals but I doubt if this guy will restore it. He thinks...

Neither - it's been repainted. Doesn't have holes for the emblems, though.

Thanks for the info on production, SC. Does anybody know any way to get a build date on this without the build sheet or other paperwork? Also, is there a way to manually open the sunroof - seems like the motor is locked up or it's jammed. There's a guy on eBay selling a $5 tool for this for ...

Here's some pics of the car. I had a camera mess-up and the vin and tag pics got lost - I'll have to get them later. At least he stuck it in the garage for now. :cool: Well that screwed up - I lost the 2 pics of the front of the car and the vin and data tag. :mad:

Yeah, I read his stuff here. They say he has a web site but all I found was a facebook page. Maybe I'll just pm him and ask if he knows.

You're right about that, Leo. The one owner thought it must be worth a million bucks because people kept coming over just to see it. He couldn't even change a spark plug if he had to and the car was a wedding gift from his father in law but he hung on to it for about 30 years. I asked him...
