In addition to what has been covered in the other posts my main concern would be the condition of the undercarriage. It looks like it has been sitting in something that may have totally destroyed the undercarriage. If you decide to go ahead be sure to price out the whole project. You would probably be better off buying a restored car or at least one in better condition. Hate to say it but I have been there and done that. Charlie Stephens

If you make the decision to buy it make sure it has the hard to find pieces such as the window garnish moldings, etc. Keep in mind if there is no grille or hood and the front fenders are not savable you are looking at another $2000-2500. Out here in California a good grille is $1000, a good hood is $500 and the two front fenders will easily bring another $1000

Heck, I paid $3K for a lot less car that was a 5 window. It was a real rust bucket but, today (and $30K later) it's a daily driver. I could easily sell it for half of what I put into it (not counting about 4,000 hours of labor). 3 windows are hard to find at any price. In parts alone your pictured on could net an easy $2,000. So much depends on what you intend to do with it. A full resto will cost more than you could sell it $20K into it. If your a DYI guy -go for it!
