pics!!!
Here you go, Squiggle Dog.
I think the hood, grill, truck deck and roof are the only good sheet metal on it. Pics of the Seller. Bob was kind of enough to hold this car for me since last November with a small deposit. He told me a few stories about this car. He bought it in 1985. If old cars could talk.......the stories they would tell, huh?   It really freaks me out to look in the rear view mirror and see a car so close and up high. My first thought is an out of control Semi Tractor Truck getting ready to run over me.  So, I experienced my first flat tire with my new trailer. I picked up the trailer about 3 hours before the car. I knew that tire had a slow leak; I aired it up yesterday before leaving Lafayette, IN and again this morning. I even had a can of Fix a Flat with me that I could put in it. I'm sure the tire got low and overheated. The only thing left of the tire was the valve stem.   Hey daw --- are you going to restore this one? NOPE!! The rearend is reserved for Ben since Ben's rearend leaks more than the engine bay. The plan is to rebuild the best rearend with new seals and keep Ben driveable while I'm doing the work. Well, we all know about plans. I'm going to try to get the engine running. If I do, it will be for sale as will other interior parts. Squiggle Dog --- sorry for the thread hijack --- you get first choice.

Thanks for the pics! It's a shame what rust does to cars. It will be interesting to see if you can get that engine to run and see what condition it's in. I'll let you know if I can think of anything I need.

DAW came by my place with his rig. I had looked at the car for him last year. I would not be surprised if it will run with a jump and fresh fuel.
The front bumper is the best non mechanical part on the car. Almost perfect and rust free.  It was great meeting you Dave! ( I cannot say I am surprised you had a flat!). Nice trailer though.

Lost Fintail
This car is a perfect example of why I'm always nattering on about RUST NEVER SLEEPS
 .You've got to address it one way or another or it'll take your car in a shorter time than you imagine .
