Art & Inspiration Interesting inexpensive Craigslist cars

A guy at a car show had a fiberglass sports car with Y block that according to a magazine article that he had with him was one of a couple prototypes made by Ford as possible competition for the Corvette, but went with the T-Bird instead. Don't remember exactly what it looked like though.

 

I just go ahead and post then and then delete them. It is pretty quick & easy.

If that wasn’t so far I would have to go look at it. Ive never seen a moredor version of the Town and Country.

Thanks, I'll do it that way (should have used my brain a little more…)

A good friend had one of the convertibles when we were in high school & JC. It was maroon & beautiful!

 

If I had one with two back halves I'd buy it. Somewhere there is a Shriner looking for one of these.

It sure would be nice if you would post a link instead of just copying a few pictures and posting them.

 

Hold on to that thought I’ll see if I can get it to copy right. I’m using the app and not the site so I was having trouble finding a link. I figured if I had the location then you guys could look it up on the website

for the Pontiac Starchief

 

No title on the El Camino, how much you wanna bet that was stored somewhere and the people selling it don't have any real rights to it?

 

Yet another cheap Plymouth - I'm sure that paint hides a lot of sins, but only asking 1500 bucks.

Geez, Mopars of this era are shockingly worthless. I have a '50 Dodge for sale and have very little interest despite it being cheap and decent (in my opinion) but if this is all they'll bring, I'll just keep it.

 

If you look at the ad, the guy took a together car, tore it apart, realized how far the bad went and is bailing. Looks like he also started messing with the paint. I wouldn't consider this one an accurate price point for others, unless they are also torn apart.
I also like that body style and thought it was cheap until I looked at the ad.
I'll give the seller credit, they are being honest and not hiding the faults.

 

just to clarify, that's for the Plymouth listed above

 

I have owned 6 or 7 of this era Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth cars. With every one of them the floors and rockers have been in this condition or worse. I don't believe I have ever seen a Mopar from this era with good floor pans.

The floors are basically flat. When the door seals and window seals leak, the outer edges of the floors and rockers hold the water until the parts rust out.

Install new floors and rockers (not many body parts are available), then replace the door and window seals, and they are good cars.

Damn...!
Someone get on that

 

Geez. That's about what I paid for mine over 20 years ago... and about what I sold it for several years later. At least they hold their value!

 

That's not holding it's value, it takes $5700 today to buy what $3500 would buy in 2005!

If the wood is savable the Mo Par woody 4 door is a bargain. Very rare.
