    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.

    Sucks there's no title, but still, that '56 210 Handyman is very fixable for that price. That and a real rotted but complete 4 door parts car, and you'd be in business.

    Seller's description
    I am selling my 53 belair, this was a custom build in the early 2000s so there is some Bondo cracking, the roof is chopped (vertically and horizontal) to sit the roof low, they also have mercury quarters to make the car longer, this car sits extremely low maybe a inch or 2 off the ground, it runs and drives it's is a inline 6 (previous owner says it has been redone I have not verified, it is also still a three on the tree it's a really neat car to drive, I'm just not really into low riders so I'm asking $6000 first come first serve

    I'm not much into low riders, but that car is very cool. In my opinion, the only thing I can see that would make it better would be for the B pillar to curve forward at the top.

    Appears this was a 4 door, look at the length of the door and the distance from the door to the blister in the rear quarter. I'm all for conversions but it would have been better to use the correct length door.
