Frame Bent, can it be fixed?
Is this even worth trying to fix? Still runs and drives, engine is solid but has obviously been in an accident I'd say the front end is off by about 3 inches.

Buying it tomorrow for 1500 unless someone says its a bad deal/worthless, I figure I can ghetto fix the front end.

Been there.
That car NO offense looks like Poop...I'd pass it up and continue your search for another one.
Even though that frame is Screwy the car will run OK,but to straighten that frame it will cost you at least a Grand or so.Why bother when there are so many other decent cars out there that are in better condition.

I'd agree with the other two guys, even with better paint. It all depends on what you want to do with the car also. I've cut many a front rails/core supports on cars.....but again you would be better off looking for another FC.

Thanks everyone, I had my fried listen to the engine and review the car pics and he said not to get it as well. He said it sounded dry(no oil).
