Slant six barn find - NMNA. Pretty clean AND it's a two door.

I was doing rust repairs on those in upstate NY thirty years ago. That, combined with the "gas tank fell out" line makes me thing that may not be as solid as it first appears.
I always open these threads with trepidation, hoping, PRAYING that it will be a four door. The only thing that may save me from another project this time is the distance.
In reply to APEowner:
OTOH it probably isn't completely irreparably berkeleyed as the front suspension hasn't collapsed from the torsion bar mount ripping out of the floor yet, I've seen nicer looking cars on CL with that failure

Good point. It's either still solid there or it's been repaired already.
Gone! I'm betting it will show up at $3000 washed. As for torsion bar, theres a slide over the rail and bolt in fix thats cheap to do. Much easyer then how we used to fix'em with welding in angle iron and plate steel.
There was one of those in the family. It still stays with me how ill-handling it was. Massively overboosted steering, and when you turned the wheel, you sort of got the impression that the front tires took off on their new direction, eventually took the slack out of the bushings, started the body rolling (this was going to take some time), and eventually the rest of you would follow...
Still think they're cool, and would love to try to make one work better.
