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?

> 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
