Terrible Waste - Spark Yellow 79 at pick n pull

I havent gone in awhile, now I wish I didnt. At the Las Vegas Pick n Pull on Lamb they currently have a complete all original 79 spark yellow. The front fenders bumper, every thing super clean. Has the tan and brown two tone interior. 78 production date with the passenger side hood prop. I am sure the original paint would buff out very nice. Here is a rundown, it would be awesome if someone could save it but its generally there is no hope after they go into those places.

Front end, bumper, bumper ends, valance all super straight.

Body has no dents, faded. Some idiot removed the tail light on the passenger side and for some odd reason cut on it a bit.

It has the rare bar in the back that helps hid things in the hatch.

The spare, and the jack have never been removed from what I can tell.

Overall, pretty clean under the hood. It looks like someone had just replaced the alternator and voltage regulator with Genuine mazda units.

I grabbed the original mazda tool bag out of it and the dome light cover which was clean. Nothing has been taken off it it yet as of Saturday.

I am sure I am going to get the why dont you try to save it line. I would, but I just found out a family member had a credit card in my name and ran up 15k so I am pretty occupied trying to get out of that hole and now might not even be able to keep all of my current cars.

Wish I could take off work and drive to see it. Heck, wish I had the space and time to restore one like this. Gotta think those close by will be getting in quickly to check it out.
