Default "needs paint"

Found this on craigslist. It is true it does need paint. I call that an understatement!

it reminds me of an ad for a pick up truck, ad said "needs headlights" but the picture showed a truck that looked like it had rear ended a semi.

It's amazing what a coat of paint will do.

The ad said.. "Lots of good parts. Needs paint"
What he means is that you need to paint the parts after you part the car

Looks like it needs a "little" restoration from the GROUND up.

All that really needs to be replaced is everything in front of the rear "CORVETTE" emblem.
