It hurts me to see this Chevelle in this deteriorated condition. Bench seat 4 speed, L79, RED fabric interior in a red car, wheel covers on white walls. Any one feature gets my attention, but ALL in the same car!!
At least the seller is honest about the issues. IMO it would be crazy ($$$$$) to dive into a restoration, best to be a budget/entry level driver at MUCH MUCH less money.
Side note, I am a sucker for bench/4 speed cars a step or two down from top trim levels, L79 Malibu, 409/427 straight Impala or BelAir, tri-carb Catalina etc. Even a COPO '69 or LS6 Chevelle I would prefer bench/4 speed or column shift auto. I'm weird that way I guess. - Bill W
