Spammers are getting clever, posting halfway relevant comments along with their spam link

"The green one had a perfect body till a tree decided to fall directly on the roof"
 
LOL...nice version of "ran when parked"
 
These look like Simca 1000s, probably from the late 60s. Parts cars for unobtanium bits, or scrap, so worth a couple hundred apiece then, maybe a little more to those three people who have roadworthy examples. Very low demand.

Probably best to crush, send to Turkey, and re-incarnate as teapots for tourists.

Hahaha; yeah, I was thinking $1,500 was pretty optimistic. Yes, they are likely rare (I had never seen one before), but rare doesn't mean valuable.
 
My Econoline is rare these days, too.
 
The Simca looks tiny. I thought it might be fun to make a project out of it, but I have too many projects already... I just wish more of my projects were cars.

Got an update that they were well into Virginia.
Keeping finger's crossed.

When the seller says he doesn't know much about them, I'm sure that's an understatement. You mean, like how much they're worth?

#24455 of 25654 Mustang "shell" for sale by omarman

Is free too much? This C code ruster in Westerville has been stripped and seller wants $1,000. There has to be a better way to start a pro street Mustang project.
 
Seller in Heath wants $15k for this GTA shell S code. Restoration would blow up the math but if the documentation checks out at least it's a 390 GTA to start with.

Seems a lot to ask for just a body on a car that might bring you $50K restored...you're already $15K in the whole, and $35K isn't going to get you even close to a restored car....and, it's still going to be a "bitsa" car---bitsa this one and bitsa that one, so you won't have much to say about originality either. I think he's about $10K over on price.
 
I think the C code shell is worthless.
