Anyone need a project? (1959 MB)

This car was re-listed, from last month. Near Seattle ,WA.
Not for the faint of heart. (But the chrome looks like 95%)

You HAVE to hand it to the seller for being BRUTALLY HONEST. "This car is not running and is severely rusted out." and "Please assume that the engine is siezed and needs to be rebuilt or replaced." are lines you wish EVERY eBay seller would say when needed. He isnt trying to mask anything or make it look any better than it is. He's SHOWING the worst parts and saying "Here it is, want it?" He could EASILY get another $500-1000 if he were like the average seller and not say how soft the floors are, how the metal is flaking off, and only took pics of the front and back where, honestly, it doesnt look too bad. The body panels look useable at least!

It's kind of cool

Needs an unbelievable amount of work but if I had a bigger garage, I might consider it. I'm with you though..hats off to the seller for the honesty.
