    That is local to me. I have a friend who was interested in it. He said the owners have very high hopes for it on that auction. They are thinking that it will p*** 5 figures.

    If someone pays over 5 figures for that it must be because they've been "hitting the bottle"!

    The wood framing is gone and the frame is rusted thru. Also no motor or trans.

    Sometimes just because you CAN do something it doesn't mean you SHOULD do it.

  16. Seller suggests maybe turning it into a street rod. I'd like to be there when that baby pulls into the street rod nationals. Foose, Brizio, et al, look out!
