Don't everyone bid at once. Looks like it was pulled from a swamp. 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Wagon - cars & trucks - by dealer -... (craigslist.org)
Well with the car in Chicago the blowtorch always seems to win out against the impact wrench. Those bolts, going by the general condition of the husk that’s left were probably so rusted on there they weren’t coming off any other way. I remember when I lived there getting an exhaust system done on a car burning and dropping the pipes seemed standard operating procedure. Man I sure don’t miss that rust.
