THIS 59' METRO WAS PURCHASED WITH THE INTENTION OF A LITE RESTORATION & A NEW PAINT JOB. ONCE WE DIS***EMBLED THE CAR WE REALIZED IT WAS GOING TO BE A LOT MORE THAN THAT. AFTER PULLING THE ENGINE & TRANSMISSION WE COULD SEE THAT THE FRAME RAILS AND LOWER COWL WERE SEVERELY ROTTEN. WE TALKED TO PAUL @ METROPOLITAN RESTORATION SERVICES IN PA AND DECIDED OUR PROJECT HAD QUICKLY TURNED INTO A MAJOR, VERY EXPENSIVE ENDEAVOR. OUR CUSTOMER COULD BUY A DRIVER FOR MUCH LESS. THIS COULD BE THE PERFECT PROJECT FOR A VERY AMBITIOUS, CREATIVE DO IT THEM SELFER. THIS IS A SOLID CAR FROM THE SEAT BACK. IT'S JUST THE FRONT LOWER FRAME AREA THAT'S BAD. THE HOOD, FRONT FENDERS, WINDSHIELD FRAME ARE IN GOOD USABLE SHAPE. THE STAINLESS AD GARNISH MLDINGS ARE COMPLETE AND IN AWESOME SHAPE AS IS THE FRONT SEAT FRAME & REAR SEAT. IT'S MOSTLY APART BUT IT IS A COMPLETE CAR! THE WINDSHIELD BROKE WHEN IT WAS REMOVED BUT IS SAVED FOR THE PATTERN. THE CARPET HAS BEEN SAVED FOR THE PATTERN ALSO. THE CONVERTABLE TOP FRAME SEEMS TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. CLEAR ***LE & VIN TAGS. PLEASE HELP SAVE THIS CAR. IT MAY NOT BE A SURVIVOR BUT IT HAS ALL THE POTENTIAL TO RESCUE A SURVIVOR. I PREFERE TO SELL THIS 59' METRO AS A COMPLETE CAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST. $3500.00 OBO will gladly send more pictures upon request.
