72455

Spotted just down the street from where I work. It's been abandoned for at least 5 days. Called the owner and said it needs a battery. He said he would let it go for 12K.
VIN 338077G140588

Strange that it would be abandoned on the street for only needing a battery - thought it looked familiar and kind of a rare car for us 67 freaks...someone may want to check it out. More info available here....

Good eye... that has got to be the same car. I think the OP may have mistaken the 6 for an 8 in the second to last VIN position. The likelihood of two cars being that similar and only 20 vehicles apart, in 2021, would be astronomical.

Double checked...it is a 6.

From the looks of it that would be a good buy for $12K. Has to be the same car.

Opinion sought...would any of you buy it as a daily for here in SE VA?

The ad listing from the previous sale mentioned that the floorboards needed replacing, so that would be the first thing I'd look at really closely.

What jumped out at me was the fact that it was a TP Cruiser (I believe) and early last fall the car was somewhat local to me, as I passed it on the way home from work! A few weeks later it was posted for sale on EBay and consigned I presume from the Morgantown classic car mall. Someone more Ebay savvy than me can dig through perhaps and see what the sale price was...I’d be cautious as 1. Floorboards need work - unless you are Oldsmaniac more than a weekend job! 2. Car was repainted from blue to red (look at under door shots) and 3. If only a battery one has to wonder why the owner would be willing to cut I loose so quick....I’d be conservative and say 10k would be a great deal, but def worth a look-see!

I forget what the "heavy duty chassis items" the TC package came with that the SPECS calls for.

Edit: here we go.
