What the photos show
- Every panel is covered in surface rust and faded, patchy remnants of red paint, with dents in the rear quarters and doors that no longer sit flush — budget for full shell restoration, not panel repairs from these photos.
- Steel wheels are rusted and the tyres old and flat-looking — budget for wheels and a full set of tyres from these photos.
- Bumper overriders front and rear are bent and twisted, chrome long gone — budget for bumper restoration or replacement from these photos.
- Headlight lenses are cloudy and the glass generally milky with age — budget for glass work throughout from these photos.
- Engine bay is a solid mass of rust, air cleaners, fan shroud and tinware all heavily corroded with cobwebs — budget for a complete engine and bay rebuild, not recommissioning touches from these photos.
- The interior is never shown in the sampled photos, which on a shell this rotten means assuming the worst — expect a full retrim on top of the metalwork.
Money: ground-up restoration money — the photos show a complete but thoroughly rusted 356A shell whose value is its completeness, not its condition.
