    Only if it had a 240, otherwise they had weak 7" axles. It's sold though!

    WOW, I don't think I've seen a project one of these in ages. It's going to take some work, but don't they all? Bad year for inspection states, but that's up to the buyer. Seems to have been listed for quite a while.

    1979 Studebaker avanti
    $1,750
    This is an avanti project car. Great for restoration, parts or to hot rod. I know it’s not a Studebaker. It forces me to use that. There is no engine or transmission. I was going to go ls1. I do not have the rear glass.

    …what's a decimal place among friends?

    I sent an email asking for more pix & info. May be a lost cause.

    Yeah, that would have been a good price without engine/trans. Just posting it with the disclaimer. Sorry to get anyone's hopes up.

    https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/pts/d/goodyear-hot-rat-rod-1920s-1930s-ford/7811618896.html

    This is a pile of parts in the shape of a hot rod or rat rod. Body is a narrowed Ford Model A cowl and 1932 Ford rear quarter panels. Body has alot of bondo on it. Believe the front axle is 1932 Chevrolet and rear end is 1965 Chevy Chevelle. Rear wheels are Fentons, one is unusable, and I don't know the maker of the front spindle mount wire wheels. Cool yard art or a start to a hot rod or race car. $995 Buckeye, AZ

    ^^ looks like legit 32 quarters on there. Rough, but those are worth the price of admission to the right builder.

    If that Corvair has minilites at all 4 corners, that's almost the price of admission already.
    Looks like fun!

    Amen to that. I paid $900 for the set on my wife’s Corvair. They are the real deal from the 60s, made in England. And I had a friend physically verify that before paying for them.

    Sorry dude… it’s a Medalist…the cheapest line of 55-56 Mercury’s. Montclairs were the top and Monterey's the middle. The rear seat has the Medalist pattern.

    Another cheap project T-Bucket
    https://ventura.craigslist.org/cto/d/ventura-1925-ford-bucket/7813701099.html
    Ad contents
    1925 Ford T Bucket.
    This T bucket comes with a small block 350 and an automatic transmission.
    The engine does turn on and run if you pour fuel/starting fluid directly into the carburetor, but the car will need a lot of work before becoming drivable as It does not have the drive shaft connected and the rear end is hollowed out.
    As you can see in the photos this is a complete project car that will need a ton of attention to bring it to its full glory.
    It does come with boxes of extra parts along with an extra heavy duty rear axle.
    I also have two kegs that I was going to use ti make a custom fuel tank to go with it.
    The car is complete and I do have the door for the cab as shown in photos.
    The vin for the bucket is an original 1925 Ford vin number.
    Clean Nevada title in hand.
    This is a PROJECT & will need to be towed.
    Selling T bucket in AS IS condition only.
    Can assist with delivery if needed.
    No trades!
    $4,900 firm. cash only.
    Reach out with any questions!

    Lots of possibilities there and a reasonable price. That title would make it golden in California. Too bad I already spent my allowance….

    It's a project, the guy isn't hiding that. I'd say it's sum of it's parts IF the engine proves to run well and the trans doesn't poop the bed.
    No brake master/lines, suspect rear spring shackles, funky front shock mounting, body might be better off starting over fresh, A floater axle comes with(???) and what probably is a complete rewire.
    But the entry is low, and I'd try to get it a bit lower if I was still in the market.
