IF anybody's looking for a big project to undertake, this has some potential. Seller has conveniently taken really shitty pictures and virtually no description of what's up. I'd probably offer him $500 cash and pick it up based on what is given.

Good:
-swastika wheels are light, cool looking, and highly desired
-engine is presumably already ruined - go ahead and just budget for the tasty V8
-dog legs, rockers, and quarters don't immediately appear to be rotting (can't see large holes in them). Looks like owner has at least tried to keep it out of the elements some, which always helps.
-appears to have something installed in the battery box to prevent rotting (or its already gone and they put a take-out container there to make it look like it's OK)
-kinda rare, since 260s were only made in '74/'75, but not heavily sought after. Would probably be a good intermediate between the super-light but flimsy 240s, and beefed up but heavier later 280s
-doesn't appear to have been molested too badly. Could be a good candidate for a resto-mod or a fun project. The devil is in the rusty details...
I've got a truck, trailer, and knowledge if anybody wants to pick it up and get a new toy... (i'm just not funding it ;p)
Lol at the description. Would make a cool project though, I would budget at least 5 times what you're expecting to fix it up for though....who knows what's going on with that thing.
