If it's not drivable it's probably money well spent. Probably not drivable looking at the parts install list. But it sounds like its not a complete basket case |

If it was running and driving needing body work, paint and other work? He's still dreaming. Get some pics Ray, I need to see that thing. _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.

This is starting to feel like a puppy thread.

I think I have done my part for this guy, and I’m just going to bow out from any further involvement. Thank you everybody for all the help!

For you guys who need pics:
     Car needs instrument panel and steering column, wiring, complete interior. Parts are inside car. Does,have bumpers and front clip but those need installed,too. I was told,engine and auto trans have been freshly rebuilt. Glass looks good. Paint is fair. Body looks straight. Nice dark blue color. Was told it,was originally a New York car. Frame has been painted. This guy is the second owner. |

Especially if the frame looks that good all the way back AND the body is rust free and/or repaired. But as is for $25? _________________ Reloading is easy, it's growing back fingers that's tough.

Doesn't need anymore paint work or buffing of chrome, etc? He probably has a $25-35 car when completed. It looks good from the pictures you posted. He's probably closer to the $15. _________________ Reloading is easy, it's growing back fingers that's tough. Studying for my Liberal Arts degree at Evergreen College.
