It's missing just about everything, including all the 'convertible only' pieces needed. It'd be rough to source all the parts, imo.

Looks like it was a V6 too. Kind of like a bunch of patch panels or a Dynacorn shell. Maybe if a person had a wrecked convertible, it'd make sense.
There was a Camaro convertible stripped almost this far on Ebay this summer. Thought the same thing there, potential but a major headache to rebuild.

It wouldn't be impossible to put back together but the price of $2350 and then putting every piece back on it is cost prohibitive. You could buy a nice convertible for the $$$ you'd have in that. Franks Pontiac parts always seems to think they're rollers are worth $2000-$3000. Nice roller to use for replacement parts on your rusty convertible though...

That's a $350 shell imo.
I bought my whole car for almost as much as they want.
There's one or two verts for sale here if you're looking for one.

I think you have to take into account that very few were produced & tonneau & trunk are interchangeable from Camaro. The hardest parts to fund are the rear spoilers.
I agree his $2350 price is a little off but floorboards will cost you over $1000.
I'm sure it will sell someday.
