I feel bad for the owners of projects like this. They spent so much money and will lose almost all of it because it wasn't finished. A great deal for the right person that wants to take over the restoration.

Totally misguided approach to car restoration. No project plan. Jumping around from one thing to another. Suspension disassembled. Body work half done. Engine out. Then he gets frustrated or runs out of money. And there ya go.
Being a 4dr sedan, he'll be lucky to get 1000 for it.

What's really dumb is offering it for sale before getting it to roll first. NO ONE can transport a car without wheels on it unless they drag it around with a fork lift. Put the wheels back on it and set the motor back into it before you list it! You're going to have to do that anyway!! I bought a '39 International panel truck with utter garbage tires and asked the guy if he would be willing to purchase new tires for it (at my expense) before it gets transported. He agreed, but it took him 3-4 months to get it done after I paid him! I was desperate to get the truck, but I would never do that again. Get the car transportable before you try to sell it! This guy would be hard pressed to sell it to his next door neighbor the way it currently is.
