This is @ two hours from me, if someone is needing an eyeball on it. Pretty paint, but looks to be hiding some bondo and rust.
60 grand wouldn't leave much for profit, for one " Done Right ". Your 72 with be over that when it's all said and done.

I think we're talking the same rig...
Yeah, 15 grand must be his reserve on E-Bay. I'm just not seeing it, other than paint.
Paint costs a lot! I think these Pigs have been undervalued for a long time, so I am happy to see someone get a decent price for theirs...
Pablo,
Paint does cost a lot, but if you spend that much on the paint, you want to know what's under it. That hole looks to be body filler and rust. Like every vehicle, if it isn't documented from the start, you really don't know what's under there, without a lot of poking and looking.
I'd much rather start with a shell and work up, for that kind of money. going to mess the paint up, just fixing the hole anyhow.
You would have to remove the glass to put in the new headliner, so maybe new rubber, etc. all adds up.

I agree with all the above! Sorry, I did not look at pictures to see a hole in body filler - no bueno...
For me personally, I would consider that, if I knew the body was solid, no doubts, but a body guy would think different. I like the nuts and bolts side, don't mind rebuilding everything.
You all know, every one of them has rust, at some stage, on the inner layers. Like an onion, peel back the outer skin and see what you have. For me, if you're going to keep it, that has to be dealt with.
I'd like to start with the rare Southwest vehicle, that needs a total rebuild and go from there. 30 to 50 grand later, you have one heck of a keeper, rather than spending 20 grand on a nice shiny painted one and have it rust through in a year or two.
Everybody has their own idea and pain level.

This is NOT my cruiser but here is what I know about it. Rear body mounts have serious rust issues. Need to be replaced. Exterior rust issues repaired with welded steel in cancer spots. Missing all original interior panels. Other then that cruiser is in pretty good shape. Original Engine compression very high, drive train solid. Runs well. I do not know this owner personally but I did assist him in locating this pig here in southern California. A friend of mine painted it for him and did the body work. This gentleman's budget was very limited. He did what he wanted to do based on limited funds with the idea of going through it little by little over the next years of ownership. He obviously decided against owning a pig for the long haul after just a short time. I noticed in his Q and A he mentions that the pig was restored. I think he means refreshed as it is light years away from an actual resto. Hope this info helps.
