Contacted seller and he has scraped frame already. Bummed about that.

I'd be interested in the rear hatch and passenger door trim if they are in decent shape if you do pick it up. Let me no if you do and want to sell those pieces.

Looks like the earth did the frame scrapping for him, along with a bunch more. Still plenty left to make it worth grabbing, if you can.

I contacted the guy, as did many others, so he is taking bids on the parts, to sell to highest bidder, he will not set prices. I'm out.

59 or most likely a early 60. I would bid $2k if I were really close. Cool to look at but a basket case.
