    Derby guys will want it real fast at that price.

    Poor thing. I bet it wasn't half bad when it was parked there.

    I'd bet there isn't much of anything left of the frame/floor if it has been sitting there for very long. Factor in the fact that is has probably seen its fair share of Michigan winters and I doubt this would be all that desirable to the derby guys.

    Yes - the underside may be toast. If the ad lasts long enough, I'll be interested if more pics are posted if sellers pulls it out like he says.

    Based on the pictures posted I would be shocked. He's probably been saying he will pull it out into the driveway for 20 years.

    Two points proven true so far:

    Derby guys have not jumped on it (still for sale)

    Seller has not posted pics to show it having been pulled out of the weeds.

    4 points proven true thus far: Lol

    He’s to lazy to sell it.

    And even Derby guys have standards. That thing would crack like a crab the first good whack.

    With that rust hole on the right rear quarter panel right next to the window and tailgate switch, I cannot imagine how bad the underneath is

    Priced at 1500 though, with some negotiating I don’t think that’s too bad for a parts car, unfortunately you need to live near there in order to make it worthwhile grabbing it

    I'm not sure it's even a good parts car. With a manual tailgate I can imagine the rest of the options in the car are limited. And while it may have a 455-4bbl, if it's been sitting in a field for 20 years you know it's locked up. The glass and trim are the only things I can see that would have much value.

    Hope you’re very young Jwdtenn. You’re going to be waiting a while.

    I think these new pics, from the ad, should answer any questions. Mother Earth is working real hard to take it back.
