Yep, that's the car. Here are some more pics we took that day. It needs a LOT of work. The seller knows that the price is unrealistic. I think he put that price tag on it to see what reaction he would get. It's 50/50 as to whether to restore it or part it out.Originally Posted by Jimmyvonviggle

Wow. Now I'm blown away at 12k.
Was it in a collision? It's got that terrible, sticky black undercoating. God I hate that stuff.
It still looks salvageable. How was the frame?
I'd say $3-5k max.

No, it has more to do with him travelling a lot for his work and he's rarely in the same city as his car. The Kijiji pics I would imagine were taken by a friend or family member.

Yikes! I'm glad I never heard back from the guy when I emailed him in regards to the car. That is not my cup of tea. I guess I'll just keep on looking!

What's with the relay compartment? Did he replace the whole fuse block with fuse extenders?
A shame to see a car in such a state. And 12k is just ensuring it never gets fixed (or is able to rescue other cars, as the situation may demand)

It seems like it, and a terrible job too. Those butt connectors are pretty dangerous, especially using that many with so many wires everywhere. One of them comes off and the whole car can catch fire.
