If this guy offered me that car for free, I would have to turn him down. Why? I have no place to put it! If I owned a farm or a big business or some other large place to put a junk parts car...I would have already done it!

Yes, I saw this too Neil. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. That $700 eBay find in Escondido looked better than this one.

Looks like a good investment.

I emailed asking for the vin, any guesses on the true mileage?

S spoiler doesn't belong on a 79, but very temptiing.

The car appears to be ROW (note reflectors on fenders and qtr panels), but the speedometer is in mph. Looks like the speedometer/odometer was changed out during or after federalization and obviously has more than 17K miles.

Is that a radiator cap on the passenger top side of the radiator?

Tried enlarging it but still can't tell if it is a radiator cap. I do see the tank by the firewall and the bleed/fill tubes that run from the thermostat housing, so it appears the original setup is still there. Could be the cap is just sitting on the radiator cover.

I sent an email, but the poster isn't the owner, its his friend "John's" car and you need to call the number in the ad, which I am too lazy to do.

Joke

Yea guys, he is joking. Someone who is serious and shows up with cash and a tow truck (my favorite tactic) could prob get it for parts car value. Now, what you would DO with it...Well...I will leave that up to speculation.

I would take it away for free! ive heard the '79 cams are good. the rest could be parted out for some $$$- aluminum body panels, wheels, glass, possibly tranny or torque tube? FORGET about getting it on the street!
