"Being the California car it does not have rust as you can see in the pictures":

"drive your dream" is the motto of the seller!
Honestly...

....on the three extra rims!!!!

The old saying is that there are 50,000 surfers in the world, and 500,000 that dress like them.
There are far more "California cars" than ever were originally shipped or sold in California. It's nearly a worthless statement that only should have one paying extra careful attention.
There are a lot of unrestorable cars destined for the crusher. Looks like this was once crushed, and dumped in the ocean (Pacific; it is a California Car) to use as a reef before someone's fishing line discovered it and brought it up.
This is clearly in the "you've got to be kidding" category.

Nothing worth saving on that car, discrepancy with the production number and the year 1970 actually a 1968 model, and the two piece hubcap rims.
All the rims are bent, two heavy side hits on drivers side from a fire?
Best to use as a very heavy and expensive door stop, or wall art.

Nice! A roll over that caught on fire in the bottom of a swamp. Just what I always wanted..........
-
Thought of a rollover too, but then looked at the bumper corners, all are straight and not crunched.
-
EBay description says garage fire :-[
-
Yep, looks like the entire house was on top of the garage.
-
It actually makes me sad to see that.

Can not believe this:

My favorite line is "Being the California car, it does not have rust as you can see in the pictures".
-
Is this the same burnt car that was listed here?
-
Yes it is.
(Both topics are now merged)

That pic actually cheered me up a bit...now I've seen a car that is a bit worse than the 250SL I left for dead under a tree for 5 years without hood, trunk lid, soft top cover or roof...and am now restoring as part of a deep, misguided penance.
