UPDATE: It sold on the 23rd for a surprising $700!

The delay was due to another document they sent to me asking for it to be notarized then FedEx back to them in early August. Since U.S. tax laws normally only allow up to $500 deductable, I need to submit a W-9 form so I can get the final receipt reflecting the full sale price. The RideSafely link below was the only thing left from the auction that was available online.

And right next to leftover parts of another forgotten vehicle, too!

It’s been gone for at least a month now, but it doesn’t appear to have been presented in an auction yet.

I kinda want to see it with some of those tubular jeep style doors and a desert camo paint job.

Ah an early 203, might be hyperbole to call it the nadir of the brand, maybe not.

“primary damage: left side”

I think they mean the whole bottom half really. That is some very concerning rust.

What do you drive now?

Great car. Hopefully it proves more rust resistant than that poor Merc. Goodness gracious! It makes me glad that I live far away from the overhanging threat of road salt.

It just keeps it from rusting more, plus make it easier for Bondo/respray.
