This makes me sad...

I'd link the ad, but the price is not Challenge friendly...

Not Challenge friendly? He's asking for more than "tow it away"???

I'm not sure how you'd even tow that - looks like it will fall to bits if you attempted to move it.

Seriously, this thing has a price that involves money?!

I guess maybe the glass isn't rusty.

It will be Challenge Friendly in a little over 783 years.

might be some patch panels in that heap of rust

Ya, nothin left of that car to even part out. Maybe the oil tank, maybe the gears or the mfi pump if it's still there. That's about it. I'm sure the mag motor is corroded out.

NE GA? I know of a few places up that direction where there are hulks of rusting cool cars. I don't understand the mentality, maybe it's hoarding? Several places I've looked have cool old stuff that has rusted into oblivion and the "owner" still wants 5K for a pair of fenders and a roof.

Absolutely depressing.

There is no rusty part of any other car that would not have rusted on this car.

is there a name for the mental affliction that allows this to happen?

other than stoopid

I would slip that hulk over a custom tube chassis. Leave the rust hole and all. Just to screw with people.

Is it sad that I would love something along those lines to build a cool backyard around?

I have seen better aircooled porsches than that in pick and pull, one late 70s 911 that was just a shell, and a early 912 that was just the body and suspension with nothing else. Still closer to being a car than that thing is.

That is really amazing. I almost suspect that that car saw salt water or was flooded in it or something and then just set aside and not rinsed with fresh water.

Now that I think about it that car looks just like one that I think I saw on chasing classic ars or another show I saw on velosity. An Older guy had it under a tarp.

one dollar bob

Price not challenge friendly? I don't think anyone would take it serious enough.

If you're not suggesting someone buy it or help someone sell it and you don't put it in the classifieds, I think the powers that be would overlook a link to the advertisement. Thats how I deal with adds that make me LOL and want to make you LOL.

It's a pre-galvanised one and those things can almost out-rust a 1970s Italian car. That one looks like the VIN plate might be salvageable.

The 356 that had most of the front missing because it had rusted into oblivion? That was sad.

I don't think you'd tow this car away so much as you'd sweep it up...

That is why I stopped driving my car in the rain, mercedes didn't put any rustproofing on their cars until 1985 and I hear 78/79 were bad years for german sheet metal.

...And a GSL-SE rotting in the background!
