Barn Finds- Who is Looking for a Car?

I think the interior looks very nice. I appreciate the look and the craftsmanship of the era. I like green; that said, I would not buy a new one with the same color scheme. The color and style fits for the period and is worthy of appreciation.
I would love to own this car, but I have enough to work on as it is....for now.

PLEASE somebody WANT it so I can get it out of my driveway! I would hate to send this thing to the crusher even if someone just bought it for parts.

If it makes you feel any better no one wanted my running and driving 1970 C/B Cottington ambulance either, and the body was even better-including perfect glass. You could have driven it across the country, and it ended up in the crusher instead, after a friend finally gave me $100, and pulled the engine for another car he had. Where were all the "if it was an ambulance it would have more interest" then?

What year were you offering it up for sale?
 
I had a '74 Miller-Meteor Lifeliner like that once...bought it from a small town in Nebraska for $850 in 1994, sold it three times and three times it came back to me. Was rusty when I bought it, but eventually got so bad that it became a parts car.

I didn't know you then.
 
Me Neither

In the early 2000s I thought these cars had gone by the way of the dinosaurs. I made my first find (stumbled across it in a parking lot) in 2004, later that year Dan Skivolocke told me about the PCS and well, that has been a lot of cars since then.
But here is an update! Sale is pending on the car, she may pick it up this weekend. A Tim Fantin referral, the lady is from Indy, it will make her second pro-car first ambulance. I am in hopes she will join our merry band of impoverished pro car people.

"She"? That's awesome. Always nice to see another female pro car owner. :)
 
Gone

Well the car left this morning headed to Indiana up near the lake shore. While changing the right rear tire found the frame rail completely rotted. At this point looks more and more like a parts car.
