Is this thing salvageable?

No offence to the vendor but that thing looks knack-knacked!
It is definitely beyond my limited abilities but is it possible to restore such a car?

[velocemitch]

Nope, the guy is off his head!.
Dash board's OK I suppose...

It's only a parts car that one and not all that many of them either!.

Sorry, can't quite see enough of it, what with that white Alfa in the way, but personally I wouldn't bother fixing up an old green Peugeot...

it only needs a shell to get it back on track

Comes with a warrenty though;

When he said 'Barn find' he meant that he'd 'found a barn'. Not even a sheep would want to sleep in that though. . .

I'm just starting my hunt for a Giulia Saloon. . . think I'll pass on that one though

Class. Should be put on a pedistall next to a concourse one. Would make a brilliant "Wax Oil" advert.

I wonder what my wife would say if I turned up at home with that!!!

Even the keys are rusty, dread to think what would happen if you started poking around with a screwdriver.

I'm surprised there's enough car to hold it in

[Harpo]

He's having a laugh surely?
Either that or the decimal point is in the wrong position. I think even the scrap man would charge to take it away.

Do Alfa do Heritage shells or is this guy looking for a ringer?

[velocemitch]

Heritage shells... I wish...
The guy is clearly misguided or if he isn't he is just trying to catch somebody who is!.

I'm not sure what a wreck of this nature would be worth if it was the remains of, say a Healey 3000, IE a car with a intrinsicaly higher value than the Alfa. There is no doubt the trend in values for Bertone Coupe's is 'up', but I'm getting the impression this tends to be for the really good examples, average ones still seem to be 6 to 7ish, and there are still cheap ones which may or may not be basket cases at less than 4.

Perhaps this guy thinks that just because a minter is worth 25K or more... (apparantly??) then the 'identity' of this one has a reletive value somehow. There is not enough left of the shell to make anywhere near recoverable.

I can't see this being worth more than £200-300 max.

Much better condition Giulia's for that money (and those are seriously rough normally), but 2.5k for that? Walk

This surely can't be the car advertised. I think some joker took it from the dumpster in the background.
