Rick - I think the guards are the optional "high-rise" variety.

This car is in my area, and I've seen cars like this that have sat for a long time. Notice the rust on the inside of the pillar post. This car may have been damp inside for an extended period of time, which tends to really do a number on the interior stuff you can't see (eg, under the dash). You also gotta wonder about the seller, who states that there's a tach in the cluster, when in the photos there obviously isn't. Hard to trust his judgment that the car will clean up nicely.

Almost $15K, and the motor's is pieces and had a rod knock? There will be an easy $15K more spent on this car, and it still won't be a $30k car. A very steep premium for the privilege of buying a "barn find."
