What a shame. Perhaps there are some useful goodies there for someone. However for $2800, you might have to look real hard after 17 years of sitting.

that heap isn't worth 200 dollars much less any amount over 2000
I like how they state it is numbers matching, how can you TELL?? that thing is so mangled I would be surprised if you could FIND the numbers much less read them.

That car is just a little too rough. Must have been one helluva wreck to do all that to the car.

Given time, you could sell off the parts and make a few bucks.
Seat frames and sliders alone are worth $200 to $300 on Ebay. On the dark side, it is just what you need to give a stolen vette a new identity.

Here's an idea...
1) find a none matching numbers '72 that has now a small block but used to be a big block and buy it for a relative cheap price (because none matching numbers cars are much cheaper)
2) transfer and rebuild ending, transmission etc from the wreck to the other car
3) transfer vin plate from the wreck to the other '72...
That way - you'll have a matching number big block car that can be worth over $10k more than the none matching numbers small block car...

and you really think the engine or trans is salvageable on that car? And what about the VIN stamped into the frame? When you section it and weld it into another frame it will be too obvious
