Now this is really a project car! But I can see the gold & white paint job with Hurst down the side. Now...., if you had endless funds, this might be a keeper, but other wise, money hole.
Disclaimer: The car in the photo (you only wish was yours) is actually not the car at the link and is used only as a comparison as to what some money and time could do....., just saying... : )

Pfffft. Bring it to the fest. Get it there on Friday and you'll be taking a HURST home on Sunday - and the only store we'd have to hit would be the Walmart.

That rotted mess would take lots of money to fix properly.

I would think more than anything else, this would be a parts machine for others looking for original parts, that they would spend the money to restore the part. If you could pick it up for $500, and part it off and make $2000 off it, it would be worth while.

Lol...I"ve already looked at it when it was up for sale a couple years ago. Its rough (a couple miles from me too) Sitting in the yard. Looks like he dug it out and put wheels on it...washed it too. Also keep in mind, the floors have had a good bit of standing water on them from the leaking roof...I wonder what's under the carpet after 2 more years of sitting outside.
Made a vid on my you tube channel of it from the pics I took. Nice guy, but wants waay to much $$ for what it is. Would be a nice donor wagon though. I offered $500 cash, and that was a no go.

Hey Nice video...., music was a couple decades dated, ( I was thinking more like 60's music with steppenwolf) but nice over all. Well, there is 1 bid for $500 now, and I don't remember seeing a minimum bid on it. I'd think with the luggage rack, some of the glass, and lights and trim might be worth the $500 or $600 dollars together if you parted it. Maybe even more. I've seen ridiculous prices for parts at part swaps, but the people get the price they want for them if it's something somebody really wants.
