Looks a little to beat up for 279 miles.

Maybe more like 790.000.

Would be worth more like $500.

Carfax would tell the tail.

Write back and see if a bridge comes with it. Oh, and maybe some beach front property in Arizona, to sweeten the deal :p

LOL -- you think...

What's the give away? The fact that it's not the same size or that the placement is wrong?

I still think the car is up for auction for $10 and the "*****" plate in the front is what he wants the rest of the money for!

Again... what a id10T

The engine looks like it was a takeout from a '65 230 with the twin single downdraft carbs. It also has a Diesel starting battery and an oil cooler. The oil cooler was used on a '74 280 with the twin cam 6 and maybe the 240 Diesel as well. The car looks like a collection of parts from several models. I have never heard of a 230.6.
