Junk. Everything, but everything needs to be replaced, rebuilt or rechromed. At $3600 and those pictures I know the problem. The seller is insane...

Almost s rusty as my red 70 Fury CV but as much work in it. It's more work than what it would be worth in the end.
Aw heck, the bumpers don't look so bad........ just yank them and slide another body in between 'em.

After seeing what happened to this car, i feel like i just watched a sarah mclachlan commercial.

I can't watch it. 3 seconds in and I'm a basket case.

Wow. That right rear quarter looks like a lion ripped a chunk out of it with his teeth.

This "car" has been for sale for quite a while...
Yes,, floors are shot,, truck floor is pretty much shot...
Rear frame rails aren't the best....
Basically would be getting an over-priced parts car...
The seller has dropped the price tho... If I remember if was like 5500$
last year or year before.... Don't quote me on that tho....

No A/C....
He'd get more than that parting it, and a number of cars would benefit.

Yeah this one isn't great, but I think we're losing vision on this one. And I can't believe we're talking that it should be parted out.
It's a 300, it's a vert, it has the TNT, buckets/console, and it has awesome colors. If I didn't know what this car was I'd think we were discussing a 383-2 Newport coupe. This car is surely 1 of 100 or less?
I think the biggest questions, which I haven't seen answers for, are is the engine seized, how much unseen rust does it have in the framerails and windshield frame/cowl, is the top-frame OK, and how is the dashboard/electrics due to the outdoors exposure?
All the body lines look straight to me, that's a good sign. And it's no longer a virgin-metal car, so a different approach is needed. You simply don't do a 'full' restoration on this car as it will never be suitable for that. You fab up the trunk floor/extensions and quarterpanel patches from 16 ga sheetmetal. Maybe get floorpans from a 4dr and splice in as needed. It would be a lot of work but not terribly expensive (I've fixed quarters worse than this car). Fix it up with a cheap paintjob to be more presentable and enjoy it for a few years.
As far as the interior and the rest of it, perhaps it's not much different than any other project 'vert might need?
Yes, a lot of work, but if a guy could do it himself it has potential to be drivable and enjoyable again.

It's Not Going to Shift Itself
Just happened to come over this Multi part resto Video about a 59 four door Bel Air resto and he calls this car's Body is "in very good shape".
Repro body part Situation is a lot better though.
That's a lot of time, effort and cash to put into a 4 door Bel Air sedan.
