Definitely a kit car. More like 1982 than 1932.

Actually those trucks are coming on strong - that's a good buy if it's not all rusted to hell.

That's what I was thinking, If it wasn't over 2000 miles away from me I would have to look at it.

Yep, just a kit car. Nothing Rolls Royce about it. Just junk seeing there's no title to it.

That was my first thought so I looked them up and, though I never liked those kit cars, the Excalibur was a bit better looking than that one. They had the side pipes exiting the engine bay and the grill was much better looking than that C'list car

I actually like that, not a bad price either. Only needs to be lowered a little.

I would "finish it up" by hauling it to a scrap yard! Yikes, what a mess.

Damn straight on that. Those Tracker frames are about the quality of pot metal.
My dad traded for a 2nd or 3rd hand one about four years ago and as soon as I looked underneath it, I could see where an entire section of the main rail had been welded in to fix rust. Also, the gas tank had some hokey home made bracket holding it up because the mounting flanges for the original straps had rusted completely off and one of the front caliper tubes rusted a leak within a year. The rear axle housing had such big rust flakes peeling off, I bet it was 10% lighter than when it left the factory. I could go on and on.
What a piece of crap.

He stripped all the unnecessary weight - like the floors - to help that little 4 cylinder move it.

Those "lost title" ads crack me up. Don't people know that you can just order another copy?
