Rough 1970 S2 Project FS on Craigslist: NorCal East Bay

Looks like a nightmare to me, but might be right for someone needing (most of) a body and other parts?

Ack! He's hauling it backwards. (edit: Never mind. I see there is no deck lid fitted)

It's never good when the belly has been laying in the mud for years. A few more photos of interior and engine bay would help determine what is really there. Will need a frame and likely many other chassis parts. Still, if it was parked in my yard, I can't help but think there is something I could do with it. Perhaps a good candidate for some ruthless modification; a new frame and some off-the-wall engine swap. I wouldn't even paint it, just keep it nasty.

Just thinking out loud there. There is just something about a cool car in the rough that gets the creative juices flowing.

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.
