You could flip that car and make 2 grand easy.

Or build the hell out of it because you got it for next to nothing.


Buy it! But it's almost certainly sold by now.....if it's been up for more than a few hours......

Even if it didnt have a motor or tranny, that'd still be a solid deal.

Because the car is in Seattle and has one of the expansion plugs poped out it may have a cracked block. That tells me the car was poorly maintained without coolant. Because of the salt they put on the roads the car may be rusted out very bad. What made it become a project car to begin with? 600 dollars sounds like a deal but it's only a deal if you can do something with it. Worst case senario is you could part it out and use what you ewant and sell the rest. Be careful even at 600 dollars. If you decide to buy it have 400 dollars in one pocket and 200 in the other. Offer the 400 first while holding the cash in hand. It's a bird in the hand thing
