RUST-RIDDEN SCRAP METAL FOR MEGA BUCKS !
Next time you wince at the price of any panel or part for your car, think of the sanity or insanity people are paying for RUST-RIDDEN SCRAP METAL being passed off as a "Project" or "Restorable" and other choice adjectives.............this one forced me to highlight a case in point: A UC 1978 Torana which was never available as a V8 from memory, but no matter, as this is going for $4,000.oo with NO Engine or Tranny...........described as a rolling shell with Panels, Trim and Upholstery missing, as well as much metal missing! ........to be clear, I love all cars regardless of Make n Model, but most people in 2017, inc myself, would think one would have to be young, well endowed financially as well as testicular, be very knowledgable in welding/panel-beating, and have much spare time on their hands, before taking on such a "mission impossible". Panels, parts, and trim in any form, are rarer than rocking horse doo-doos, and if found, are moon-money...........in my humble opinion !
