This makes me cry

Ok, so it's not exactly off-topic.

Cruising Ebay...this makes me cry.

True, but I'd still be very happy to own one, notchback or not.

I wonder what the underside looks like.

God knows, when I was younger, cars like that sucked me in like a magnet. Today, it would look great in my back shed, as a display. It will be interesting to see if anyone takes that on.

Just a bit of surface rust. It will buff right out.

Indeed. When I joined Pelican I could find SC Coupes for that price, although they didnt have quite the same patina.
