He's starting the bids at $200, that's dirt cheap and if he doesn't pull it early it will sell. I've seen a few auctions that start with a really low starting bid and get yanked when the seller decides it a way too low starting point.

Some one is going to get a awesome project.

As wide as that face is and the fender width to the outside of the headlights - it's an F7 or F8. The fenders look solid, especially where the F7/8's seem to rust - the upper fender / lower fender mating line. I can't see the typical bubbling in the photo's. Anyone out there trying to resto a Big Job - that's cheap sheet metal.

I gave up on trying to find an F7/8 front clip for my F6 - to allow installing / handling a later model 6 lug front axle's width and not stick out past the fenders. I went on many a great wheel hunt instead looking to replace the 5 lug 2-piece rims.

That white one is really cool. Stretch the bed out, add dullies and you have a show car hauler that you can sleep in also. Lots of potential for someone that's good with designs and pulling it all together.
