    I love these guys from California " lots of rust"
    Where ? That's a Gem.
    Surface ( rust) doesn't count.
    California guys would be severely depressed and throw up coming to the midwest looking at old tin.

  10. I totally would....I'm a baby when it comes to rust. I look at some of the builds here where MAJOR structural repairs are needed with a deep respect and a puckered sphincter.

    Buuuuuuuut, what about the reverse....a California guy bringing out a bunch of California parts to the midwest :D.

    The mid 50s car designs were great in virtually every brand, they were the best looking for those few years throughout all american cars!

    I had one of these once. Completely rebuilt the front end with new everything. Couldn't work on it for a while and sold it to a guy who sawed the front end of the frame off and stuck a Camaro clip under it. I don't understand people.

    That Chrysler looks like it could be a decent project car for someone!

    Sadly you couldn't put much $ into the 4 door and expect to get any return on money spent.

    Seems like a heck of a deal if they aren't all rotted through on the bottom!

    The '54 Cadillacs seem like a hell of a deal. If a guy could get them home, I bet you could part out the parts cars on eBay and finance the entire revival of the running car. That's a bargain.

    I totally get that. I just want to get a 4 door so I can fit the wife and son into it while we cruise around going to estate sales. You can fit more cool stuff in a moor door :)

    You'll have plenty to choose from and probably since not many buyers can offer a lot less $ than asking price and get a deal. Good luck.

    Odd price, but if that's the actual price and not a typo, that's a heck of a deal. Could probably get half of that back just for the 60's square back bucket seats sitting in the front. Wouldn't be that hard to fill in those quarter windows if you wanted to. Surprised to see a Chevy of that vintage so cheap in California, and for sale for so long already.
