http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/5125277148.html

Its just up the highway a few miles. Guess I'll never forgive myself if I don't take a look.

sounds like a deal [cl

I know of one by me that has a title for $750! Cars very ruff but the title may be worth the $750

I was just getting ready to make the comment, it looked like the one you posted, tape on the grille and all
Or is that the way the grille is held on???

That is so cool !!!

Yeah, you had better!!! [dr

The ad says clear title. I'll know in a few hours. Heading out with camera and tape measure in hand.

I still like a certain "doorless" Dodge better. But this may look good without all the fenders and stuff in the way. We will see.

I need a bigger place!

I found doors for it in Colorado! I just need to go get them!

And I will be your way (or atleast WAY closer) this fall!

Well, it has a clear Washington title. It has a motivated seller. It doesn't look like it has ever been wrecked. It is not a total rust-bucket. It looks like all the interior trim pieces are there. The rusty places are mostly in easy to fix places as far as I could tell. The worst is in the back corners of the trunk and the bottom of the cowl. A little bit in the doors. Some of our master builders here have worked with way worse to be sure. It is a cool looking car. I am going to pass, because it is just too big for any of the projects I have in mind.

Here are a few pics, as promised.

A few more. The grille and surround are in amazingly good shape. Especially for the fragile looking thing that it is. That isn't tape. Its really built that way.

The bolt on stuff (fenders, deck lid, grille and surround, hood, etc.) all look to be in better condition than the body and doors.

The front axle is not attached. No springs.

Overall, I would say it is well worth the price.

Uh-oh. The price just went up, and the dang thing got three feet longer than I need.

Even so, let me know if you are getting close. Shoot me the numbers.

I can see from this better pic it's not tape on top holding the grille on

As 21 suggested in his road pics thread, this car BEGS for a guy like zzrodder!

Seller told me he is open to trades, also.

There are boxes full of small parts that go with it.

The top insert is made like the seam across the front of my 39 Ford PU cab roof.

They are made with the steel roof insert. Atleast the three that I have saw had them.

The car that's near me isn't a hump back and looks way better.

That's a beautiful car. Also in much better condition than what I have started with this time around.
