    Sad. Someone dedicated could fix it. Cut out and replaced the quarter panel and repaint.

      Wow. Loving the way that car is optioned. Good candidate for a body donor. Swap everything over to the new body.

        What a nice parts car. Find a good body and swap everything over. Well worth the money.

            Seen worse first-hand. The motor in my '90 was way better than that turkey 2bbl 351. Now it's getting stripped down to shit and the yard might give me 50 bucks for it. If I were wealthy i'd keep it and fix it but I can't. Without going into detail, I hope they get rid of California's democrat voters(illegals that drive here legally and wreck my car). This is why I want to buy every straight, non-running car here, because I know they aren't rusty and can run again. Send me money everyone! I'll send you cars. No shit I can grab these things and make sure they are workable, then send them on. I can't keep them really. There are a few local here that need various things to be driveable, I just don't have a place to keep them all. I could take them to my buddy's shop to get them fixed for a reasonable fee, then move them to you guys. I'll call it; "Save the Panthers from hippie California Project" or something. They'll just crush them here and sell more stupid Priuses.

            If you own a prius and are offended by this, fuck you. That is all...

              Wish it were closer. I'd buy it for the remaining good body panels. Finally have some nice doors for the passenger side. Spare fenders would be nice too.
              1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.

                Someone must have bought it. Can't find the listing anymore.

                Only cure for Ca is if it has a massive earthquake and everything falls into the ocean. Get out while you can.

                  Car's getting derbied for that price. Damn shame but this is all too common for panthers especially boxes. And holy moly that thing was clean especially for something north of the mason-dixon line. This is why I never park cars I care about anywhere near a main road or street. I'm paranoid about something like this happening, because all it takes is one slightly more retarded than usual person to fuck it all up.

                  Back to the '88 in the ad: at the very least it'd need a good hard frame pull. Look at how the rear bumper brackets are twisted and bent. Even if the inner bumper and faceplate were okay the frame's still gonna be tweaked. Which means you have a perfect excuse to roll a '98-'02 chassis under there. Would need either donor metal or fab work for the driver side rear quarter, but that's still far from a lost cause.
