i figured i should start a new thread on this one as this was kinda buried on the other thread. i posted a link to it above. any thoughts?

so we sold that other car and now wife is like....oh the yard is so nice without all those cars etc etc etc. so i'm still going to get those cars but i was thinking of doing something diffrent. Turns out if i get them running I can get a day pass to drive them down to the dmv for vin verification (which should make getting two titles much easier). The one I already have has an almost perfect body in comparison to the ones i'm buying however the ones i'm buying have complete motors and dash's etc unlike the car i have. I think if i use the good body and all the parts off of the other two i can do a fairly nice and drivable amateur restoration. Decent body, decent motor, and decent interior. Clean it super clean and sell it. I'm thinking i could get about $3000. Then I rat rod the second like i want, and part out the last or junk it. What do you guys think? I see fully restored 544's get about $7000-$9000 and ones like the two i'm buying go anywhere from $500-$1250. So I'm thinking $3000-$4000 would be fair for a very nice driver. I think between the three cars I will only need to purchase consumables such as oil and brake shoes,etc. Thoughts?
 
After reading the above quote, it really sounds like you have a plan worked out. I would normaly say do it, but it seems like you have some reservations about the deal. If it don't sound right or seem right, don't do it. If it is a good deal, then go for it.

JMO...
 
i don't normally go that route on projects i find but i think i could make it work with the amount of money i would have in it. then i'd have some cash to spend on one of my other projects.
