    Here in the GreatWhiteNorth, we would call that restorable with little rust. The Cawli-fornia boys don't know how lucky they have it.

    You Californians would bitch if they hung you with a new rope... Sheesh, probably the only unchopped (Well sorta) merc left in the country. On level ground. Not even a tree growing up thru it. Still has sheetmetal below the beltline. Hell, I bet you could kick it with your foot and not go thru. Passenger front fender and hood to replace. Door can be straightened, same for the roof. Other side looks like it's probably OK from here. I'll bet major portions of the floor can be used. Even still has the engine. What are you waiting for? [​IMG]

    let me guess, he saw one sell for big bucks on e-bay and thought he had better bring it out!

    Are you posers afraid of work or what?
    Even Sam Barris did work from worse cars, he built his 50 Buick from a burned out crashed hulk worse much than that. Over 50 years ago!
    Sailer: I agree, that one is good stuff!

    In Michigan we'd call that a "classic in very restorable condition...some rust, minor body damage."

    I'm surprised it's not restored or ripped apart already... California has been pretty much cleaned up when it comes to old boneyards, but there seems to be a few hidden spots with some good stuff...
