1972 Saab Sonett.

Its in shit shape, New England salt was not kind to its metal bits.

Yes, that is the ground you can see through its "floor", theres a reason I'm picking it up for $400

But then, I want it for its body :P
I have evil genius plan for it, more details later, when I have a better internet connection

I bought a bucket without a bottom once. It looked really good until I tried to use it for anything.

nooo, but that is an interesting idea. it seems to work oddly well for certain old american muscle cars, but i'm not sure how it would look given how tiny a Sonett is

Definitely thought about it in the past, but probably not

Alright. I still think there may be salvageable bits inside, despite its...condition.

Seats are, if not mostly salvageable, recoverable. They're basically just padded leather on fiberglass. dash may be as well. Im going to try and save as much as possible, if not for my use, then at least to pass on to someone else (and hopefully recover some of my costs)

But it's even perfect for an inspector gadget theme, and it's in the price range. Ah well, I'll just have to keep my eyes out for a similar deal in my area and do it myself I guess. Looking forward to seeing what said evil genius plans you have in store for this.
