Sweet car. Would have been even better as a coup

[FoMoJo]

I'd sell Ol blue for this beautiful old '55 ford.

The price is right, the guy says it runs. Chrome is really nice. Want! Love that 50s shit. 

Love the '55 design.  It had that "forward" look, like it was always ready to take off.

Yeah, but the 4-door cars are the obtainable ones now.

[shp4man]

It's in Seattle. If it was here, I'd start getting serious.

Would you swap "Ol' Blue" for it?

Ads like this drive me nuts. Why is it so fucking hard to put together simple sentences? It's not merely a few either. I'd say 75% are written by illiterate morons.

Then you understand the true literacy rate then.

Squarebodies are HOT right now. Lots of LS swaps, suspension upgrades, brake upgrades, etc available for the restomod and protouring people.

Good deal if the drive train's solid.

Sleeper? They spelled shitbox wrong. I can get a pretty nice Mustang GT for $3500.

One of the most depressing interiors ever.  Other than that, if the motor's good, it would be a good $2000 car.

[Eye of the Tiger]

It is a $1000 car. It was clearly thrown together by a dumb redneck and will have many issues just to make it driveable, never mind the cosmetic issues.

You're nuts.    I would have said maybe $500 for the engine/drivetrain, but then all the time and effort, plus disposing of the remaining carcass...
Nah. I wouldn't bother giving a dime for it.

Hard to say for sure.  Some of those rednecks are/were pretty good mechanics.

Yeah, but this one hasn't even heard of a fan shroud.

[Payman]

Lol sleeper. Like that shitbox wouldn't draw attention.

Now, if it was a 2008 Camry with that drivetrain ... it would be slower and louder ...

I stay away from cars with that style air cleaner.

[Payman]

Yes. That's the reason it's not worth $3500. The air cleaner.

[CaminoRacer]

Yes. That's the reason it's not worth $3500. The air cleaner.

It's a quick indicator of the quality of craftsmanship found in the rest of the vehicle

So is everything else.

No fan shroud.
No heat or AC.
Rubber strap battery hold down.
Terrible, kinked, rusty, battery terminals.
All other wiring routed terribly.
Dirty as fuck. No attempt to clean it up.

[Payman]

What the actual crackpipe hell? What do they think they have here?
