    Look like a lot more than that. Nothing, NOTHING, seems to fit correctly. Obviously a complete and incorrect repaint. The car looks like it has been twisted. Buy it for a less than the ask, a lot less, and part it out. I'm almost thinking someone bought it as a wreck and tried to fix it but could not get in through an safety inspection and then gave up on it.

    That company deals in the bottom end of cars that need restorations
    Not a bad thing if your looking for something to restore. I know many that bought from them.
    Nothing road worthy

    After looking closely on the panel gaps its just terrible. Comparing the front lower part of the fenders where they meet the rocker panel... not great.

    Have anyone experience from this dealer?

    Drivers side front fender is the worst and needs to be removed and installed correctly.

    For the price how can you go wrong!

    It won't sell for less than that someone will buy it. Salvage value is half of retail just because someone didn't know what they were doing doesn't mean someone can't have fun with this car.

    With many of the known issues with 355's and their tendancy for big ticket repairs, even I as an intrepid DIY'r and sucker for a car in need would be wary of this one. 355 take a real commitment to own and maintain, this one could get ugly in a hurry and if there is an issue with the cars past a really hard resale. I'm usually very optimistic about project cars ;)

    Oh no, hope it didn't go to the guy in NJ that likes to flip salvage 355s. :)
