Complete suspension redo
Complete interior redo
Exhaust, drivetrain...

Sell it at Barret Jackson

I'm betting it has WAY more than 12k into it.
The interior is interesting, but completely unusable IMHO

Remember what I said about dealers colluding? Bet this shows back up at another auction as just sold for 10K but I'll let you have it for $6K...

That thing is so UGLY it's sick!

Truth in advertising at least. Imagine that brick going over the Grapevine with a 318 pumping its hardest.

It looked worse in person. Saw it Tuesday before it sold. CRAZY bidding.

Well lessee..a '72 318.  In a truck would that still be a Polysphere, or had they dropped it entirely for the LA 318?  With the Polysphere and a TorqueFlite it will walk up a wall, although it will do it at walking speed.  The LA hasn't as much meat in the block.  It'll go but it'll eventually get tired.
I have come to the conclusion it's a Gentlemen's Sportin' House.  Customers are seated while the ladies entertain on the bed.  Pull the curtain across, the ladies can entertain the gentlemen.  What else would have chairs and a bed but no outhouse?

Johnny, with your suspected purpose, would it not then need a bidet... and a pole?
Very Happy

It appears to of skipped plumbing altogether.  Which means the next gentleman... well that's crude, I shan't expand on it. 
For serious though, what use would the thing be as it's fitted out?

Johnny,
It's good for:

Road trips in a mild climate only. No galley, bath and no A/C.

My daughter has one of those in So Cal. With bath and kitchen. Ran good when parked.
Free to any one who will drive it away.

Spend a few bucks and take it to BJ Auction.

Email or PM for details.

I saw it a couple of hours after the sale.  Pictures fail to capture the aged exterior adequately.  I choked at the price The cockpit was all in plad.  It sat next to a Cortez that looked very good by comparison.  I did not get the price on the Cortez.

There's no word to describe how those boxes look to me.

UUURRGGLY can almost hint at it.

Somebody must have had money burning a hole in their pocket to buy that.

Love it! I sense, however, that he'd better get in touch with a lawyer and have that declared as an art project. I wouldn't want to be on his HOA's email list when he rolls that thing into view.
