Don't know too much about panel availability for Mopars, but if it's a good as say, for Camaros or Mustangs (hurl), then It may be do able. If you had to pay someone to do the welding etc, could set you back a small fortune though.

As these are much sought after cars and it didn't sell 1st time it was on Ebay, makes you think how bad it is.

I think the question is whether it is ecomonic to restore it. I'm no expert, but I know a fair bit about repairing bodywork and roofs are difficult.

I think the last statement on the ad is the most relevant.

"IF YOU CAN WELD OR KNOW A GOOD BODYMAN THIS CAR IS FOR YOU..... "

That car is dead and gone. There's little left to repair. 318ci motor was the leat desireable offered and may be buggered.
The 'fabric' of this vehicle has rotted away. The interior is all gone, the floors have all gone. It's not worth repairing. The seller is living in dream world and hoping to cash-in on what it once was. It's a derelict.

If you lot think that is beyond economical repair ....

Wait until you see what I've been tinkering with all weekend. Photo upload will take a while since I'm about to hit the road and drive across the USA!

I think it is salvagable but at a large cost both in money and time....

If it for you as a keper then go for it if you have the necessary skills but to sell on at a profit, tun away and keep walking is my advice....Sorry but there are more out there (ot many but there are more)....
