Is this a parts car from which someone has already sold everything of value, now he is looking for a sucker to pay too much for the worthless bits?

Any potential for a race car only starting point?

> Hi Guys, Susan in Oregon here. Well I was the second person in line to buy
the car. After Boyd dropped out the owner called me back and we hooked up
the car van to our Ford F-350 and headed to Calif. on Wed. morning. We got
there 13 hrs later and the next morning Thurs., made arrangements to view
the car. We got there at 9:00am and the car was in something like a sea
train container. It was a tight fit and hard to see the rear or under the
rear. We asked him to push it out of the container and he had said it was to
heavy and wouldn't let us push it out. My husband got under the car as best
he could. The front cross member is pulled into a V ,must have towed it from
there. The interior is gutted, most of the dash is gone, ther are two seats
from something else just sitting loose in the car. The seering wheel is
broken in half. The remaining dash has been altered to but in after market
guages. The flare kit is fiberglass, tore and ripped in spots. The fit is
very poor and would have to be refitted. It seems he cut out too much of
the fenders and fiber glassed to match. All is cracking apart. There are no
air conditioning hoses or parts, the radiator and fans need to be junked.
All extra parts in boxes he has are worthless. Someone had fiber glassed
over the back deck lid. Need I say more! We left and headed back to Oregon
and stopped at every fruit stand and filled the car van with tomatoes,
strawberries and apricots. $500.00 in diesel and 60.00 for fruit and one
hotel bill later we feel very lucky to get the car we have. Even with my
husband doing all the work, it would just never pencil out. Too easy to buy
someones for 20,000 or so and change things to the way one wants. If anyone
has more questions feel free to ask and I will get my husband on this
computer to tell them what he saw. I just saw dollar signs.Too many dollar
signs! Sue
