"Extremely bad shape" ... someone save this

(not affiliated with seller in anyway)

Looks like the same pictures as the last time it was listed for sale almost three years ago http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29076. I guess things haven't changed (for the better at least) since then.

What's the next step below "Extremely bad shape" on the condition scale? This one looks quite beat. Sad Z.

Looks like my 379... same blue on blue. She's done. Strip usable parts and crush... sad

Ahh didn't realize it was posted three years back..

Yea, it's a bummer... I wonder if it has valuable '69 car parts though?

How can you tell so much from the pictures? I don't see any major damage.

The driver's side floor pan is not rusted through, The only visible dents are the one on the front of the hood. I don't see any major rust-through. Engine and transmission still in it and hooked up. Suspension components ans wheels appear to be intact. Looks like it is missing some interior and exterior parts, but has all of the glass.

Too bad it's so far away, the leaves and moss might be hiding a good project. It seems like #299 would be worth the effort. I'm new to the Z game though so maybe not.

After reading the last post in the old thread it sounds like the car is in even worse shape now http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showpost.php?p=307177&postcount=81. At least the seller has dropped his price from a $1,000 reserve to $300. The seller should have taken the $511 bid when it was first listed on ebay a couple years ago. If it wasn't a parts car before, the four trees falling on it have probably sealed its fate. There may be a few early parts on it, or at least some series one parts worth saving. It looks like AWC and EvilC were both interested in it at some point. Maybe one of them will buy it.

May she rest in peace...

I'd take it on if it were closer to me. My wife would probably leave me though.

Anybody want to chip in for shipping?

For only $300.00, if one of our members in the NE has some space to store the car, they should seriously consider buying it and get it out of the elements. Even in its poor condition, this car could still be restored. As Zed Head mentioned, most of the car still looks to be intact.

Things might have changed since those pictures were taken, looking at the old 2008 thread. I didn't realize that they were so old, and that this conversation has taken place before.

I read through it but didn't see anything about four trees falling on it. That would change the situation.
