This^. If you're gonna make it so pretty that one's enjoyment must be limited to only looking at it, buy some art.

I think that'd be a good buy at $7500 or so due to it needing expensive bodywork and paint. Great colors. Rust-free, new seatcovers in a matching color that look like they were properly done. Change the hood if you must, get a replacement rear bumper, and it would be no different than similar...

I want to make some sort of comment on that.

And now at a broker for 15k...

For future reference, in case we see it again: Per my memory of it last time for sale, it has a TON of rust bubbles below the rear glass, under the vinyl and in the dutchman. Back then it was a decent car for the price, but definitely one that required a gameplan/goal before dumping a lot of...

Well that honeymoon didn't last long. Those are the same pics from the previous sale, so presumably no changes have been made to the car. I saw a lot of detail issues last time I looked at the ~200 BaT pics. The front wheellip trim is stick-on plastic chrome. And other stuff. All in all, it...

That looks like a decent car for the money. Good colors. 68 Newport is on the shortlist of cars where I like both the front and rear styling treatments, and hte 4dr hardtop is pretty sleek.

This car was more realistic when it was for sale for ~12k or so by the prior seller a few years ago. It had the same peeling paint and worn/incorrect seats back then. Seeing the cracked/peeling dashpad, multi-cracked steering wheel, the warped doorpanel corner, the windlace that's pulling apart...

Looks quite decent in the other pics, but in the initial video, when they closed the hood, I saw this. Now it's all I can see.

Yes, and it seems to happen a lot when we discuss cars for sale. That don't even belong to us. But TBH, this site is still an order of magnitude better-behaved than Moparts of 15 years ago.

Fine by me, you started this. Saves me from future snark-exchanges.

Then buy this car and save it. Instead of waiting on the sidelines for the car that's exactly what you're looking for. That you don't deserve, because no one deserves anything.

You have a shitty outlook on people, apparently. Besides, you misread, it's the car that isn't deserving. If someone doesn't want it, it isn't deserving of their attention. If it should be saved, why didn't you upset your applecart and do a noble deed for an inanimate object?

I was thinking they surely could've used a leafblower to get that interior halfway-presentable. But then I realized they probably did, but were standing too far in the dustbowl outside the car when they did it. That's a lot of car for the money. Lack of title is surely hurting it. Folks that...

Here's the GM version. It's kinda funny to look back at some of the Big 3 offerings, to see them all release something new in the same model year, or the next year. Look at all the cars that went to stacked headlights in 1965. Fury, full-size Ford, Fairlane/Comet, full-size Pontiac, mid-size...

And I happen to be guilty as charged on that, too. :(

Of course on that one. I was thinking of the 'ifs' that might support the $3600 asking price.

This car is iffy -- iffy only had 1 more thing going for it. If it only ran. If the interior wasn't so unusable as-is. If it didn't have that big smush in the quarterpanel. If the windshield was decent/usable. If the rear bumper wasn't so rusty. If it had a good top. If it had an E63. If it had...

Prime example that the cheapest cars cost the most.

@ tallhair I don't have the answer. But it would seem a better engineering choice to paint those aircleaners satin to save $ for lower-bid success. Although painting them differently for police-only cars kinda negates the savings. I read somewhere that HP bigblock copcars would get a...
