I tried to get this one before it got this far , but , the guy still wanted $400.00 for it , and told me , "if you dont buy it , is crusher bound" well , that where it went , I bet he didnt get the 4 bills for it either
Me too , but some are just too far gone , and some people watch too many episodes of Barrett & Jackson......
sometimes it's better to start with a $500 car....... a little more money will get you a lot better car can't save 'em all. but I woulda' pulled out the curved sideglass before crushing
Believe it or not , all the glass was good untill they poked holes in it to hold the doors closed , the guy saved the power pack 283 3 speed and 4:11 rear out of it , but wont sell it ,he also saved the tags and paperwork to it too.
I have seen the same thing happen.Some turd refuses to sell a car for years,then decides its the same thing as Jay Leno collects and want too much for it.Ends up getting a dollar two ninety eight for it from a crusher.Not too smart in my book.
i can get you hooked up with one in better shape and more complete if you want to make a trip to north texas.
I tried to buy a '54 Stude coupe once from a guy. No front sheet metal, no drivetrain, just body and frame. I offered $200. The guy said hell I would crush it before I would take that for it. I passed. Several years later I saw it sell at an acution, with a front clip and on wheels for $375. Crush it my ass. Sometimes they just say that to play on your emotions. I didn't buy then because I had moved on with other projects.
YEAH,BUT THE REAR QUARTER SIDE GLASS GOES FOR $350.00 PER SIDE! HRP http://www.danchuk.com/Danchuk1.aspx?Category=ffd30c58-76d4-47ee-a4e5-52a36597d8b0
Yup, someone savvy would have snapped it up for $400 and peddled off those parts for a tidy profit. I helped a buddy with several of em overthe years.
DUDE...drop the RAT thing, and come in from the dark side. REAL hotroders HATE that term! and HELL NO he didn't get $4000.00 for that pile. but by chance someone paid for it. well i have a front clip for only $80,000.00. O.K. i don't have 1, but should you need it. i'll have 1 tomorrow...POP.
400 was a deal. It's worth that just to put it out back and never do anything with it. To bad. Looked like a saveable car
AMEN to the Barrett & Jackson-itis. People aren't just doing cars that way now....but even parts if they think they know what you're going to use it for. Had a guy quote me 100 bucks for a 2nd gen Camaro rear, but said he had to dig it out. He dug it out, then looked around on Ebay and decided it was worth 300. I told him to keep it....whaddadouche!
