    If it were scrapped, in metal alone, it would probably be worth $250.

    As far as those floors go, that doesn't look like an impossible fix. We have seen worse cars brought back to life. It bears a closer look, but I would bet guys from the Rust Belt wish they could find one this good.

    Going by the back bumper, it is a 73.

    I'd say, get it, see if anyone wants the whole car. If it really is too rusty, nasty cowls, etc., it may make more sense to part it out, and then scrap the shell.

    Wonder if they have the rest of the interior there ... looks like it was a bench seat car. Buckets would have been a bonus.

    The gas tank looks like it's worth $125 alone.
