Thank you all for your comments and observations.

I was secretly hoping it would be something "superficial", but the more I think about it, the less interested I am. Not even going to follow up to see if the owner wants to sell. Shame to see something like this, but when people are paying upwards of $70K for a charred slantnose shell (nothing but the shell), I guess people could believe that anything (this rusty car) is worth anything they ask for (I have no clue if he'd sell and how much he'd ask for this).

Again, thank you all for your input. For the record, I'm a "checkbook mechanic".... I have hung around this place for a couple of decades, but I'm not the sort that will rebuild an engine or anything for that matter. I do like knowing what it takes to fix something and how it's properly done, but let's just say I've often caused more damage while trying to repair something.....
