I have seen worse.
Looks like an XA with XB/C door & Landau dash and XC front gaurd.
Certainly a mixed bag.
Looks like the 9" is waiting to be taken as well.
Good luck, i hope it comes through for you.

For $1500 should buy it, clean it up so it looks more presentable and chuck it on ebay.

Are those pics really four years old or is the date wrong on the camera?

If you do it yourself.. hmm.. you could spend 60K restoring a car worth 30K...

I'd say the front guard needs to be repainted (again)

I can't really be bothered with the car at this point, but will add this suggestion. Use punctuation! (FTW).

Forgive my ignorance but what is so great about this old heap?

All these people are saying to throw money at it and all I'm thinking is you'd have to pay me to take that! :

You obviously don't have a clue about the XA-C coupe market.

stick a 351 in it and It would make a good mad max car as is :P That is ALOT of work though, cars in better condition than this have taken ages to rebuild just look in the projects section. for 1500 though, could be a good cheap investment if its a good enough body. It is a coupe after all everyone on the planet wants one and there isnt enough to go round.

almost 2000 views with 17 bids so far and 3 days left, you should have got it for 1500 bucks. Very least it could have been sold to make a profit. It seems these days even if a coupe was cut up in a million pieces and sold as a jigsaw puzzle people would still probably buy it for decent $$$

I enquired about it and was not extended the courtesy of a reply, the next thing i see it on e-bay, although i half expected it.
Probably fishing on here to see what it would be worth.
I did notice on the e-bay listing it is now missing the bonnet and bootlid, will probably be listed after the auction ends.
