Title: My most desireable type of classic car.
Post by: shp4man on March 14, 2024, 09:08:22 PM
Original Old lady owned, low mileage, garaged time capsules. I don't particularly care if they're a desirable coupe or flop top, upscale model or even what make they are.
Occasionally one comes up for sale, usually a relative's death puts them on Craigslist. I'll find a good one one of these days. Like this beautiful '55 Ford:

Here's an example currently available: $5K asking price.

That's freaking OE paint and upholstery. No goddam rust! How many '50s rides are cherry? Not many. Wish I had a bunch of cash. I'd be driving this one. A '59 Edsel...LOL.
A conversation piece for sure.

A great old car, especially if it has the optional FE engine.  Fix it up and it would be worth a lot more than 5K.

I have a long list of desirable classic cars, but one I've always really wanted was something like this...

Wow.  That seems like a great deal?

The radiator and the generator is missing and the rear bumper is laying on the ground underneath the car.
Supposedly it was donated to the San Diego Auto museum and they decided to sell it.
