Scored a cool little 63 LeSabre 2dr HT 401!!

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Cadillacin Marcus, Mar 9, 2004.

  1. Needs some work but it runs good body isstaright and no major rust,been in CA all its life.I don't know whether to repaint it back to the stock color and thorw some stock hubcaps on it or rod it..It would be worth more as a hot rod I think.

    Stock is for wussies!!! Rod it, its the only thing to do. Suede paint, lowered, Moon discs, and a few engine mods, how could u go wrong????
     
  4. I need to take a poll...60's style hot rod with 5 spoke wheels or 60's styled Kustom??
     
  5. Let's start a poll on long it takes before it's in the cl***ifieds.
     
  6. Well thats what i do with these cars i buy them and sell them...Is that a crime??

    I vote 60's styled kustom. [​IMG]
     
  8. That's not a rod in the making...it's a custom in the making. Drop it, shave it, nice caps or wheels and a clean paint job. If you're gonna sell it, keep it simple so the next guy has a nice clean "canvas".

    Buying and selling is OK...but pretending that you are actually going to do something with it, is VERY BORING...

    Barnett nailed it..and don't waste moeny on paint if you're gona sell it. What ever you choose for paint will invairably be wrong for your customer...clean the car up and buff out the ****ty paint...put a cheap set of new tires on it, replace any missing parts like those headlight doors and hubcaps and pump it down the road...invest the profit back in your bidness....
    NEXT CAR!!!!!!!!

    That car worth only waht the guy that wants it bad enough will give you for it. Only do what you need to so it's drivable, safe and legal.

    Nice! We just bought one aswell. About 3 mounths ago.
    It's white with blue top. The inside is perfect. It has 63000 orig**** miles on it. I just saw a 2x4 intake on egay
    If you come across any fenders give me a yell! The front fenders are the only thing that needs help on it. I have found that all the gaskets and such are easy to get NAPA.
    Does yours have a speed minder?
     
  15. Yep now see thats what i was thinking clean it up and resell it.My brother seems to think it wont sell.I think he's on crack.I didnt pay much for the car,I think no matter what i will make money.I want to spend as little out of pocket as possible on these cars.I need the hubcaps found two on ebay,I have the rest of the stuff the headlight doors emblems etc.I think if i get that altogether the car already will increase in value.What would you pay for a car like that? 100,000 original miles CA car no rust... speed minder??
     
  16. I have to apologize.

    I enjoy viewing pics of neat cars, just as much as anyone, but this seems to me a thinly disguied effort to sell cars on the main topic page.

    Marcus your a clever guy. Keep these old bones on the cl***ified page.

  19. Guys ****in chill out!! damn!!

No big secret there!! To be honest with you the HAMB aint the place to make a profit, you dudes are too cheap,like ME!!! hehehe... But for ****s sake chill out already.Like I'm pulling some clever scheme over here to get you to buy my ****boxes,I can care less,they go on ebay before they go on the Cl***ifieds here....Is just comes down to talking cars bros... No ones twisting your arm to make you read my posts,so if they bother you, then cease on reading them!! comprende amigos??!! Ok enough ******** ..Now enjoy the board and shut the **** up!!

  22. Yes,... I'm going to count to 6 very slowly feel your body getting light and relaxed alomost floating..ahhhh.. you are in a safe place...........you are thinking I love Boyd...I love Boyd..you are thinking how cool it would er to have gay billet accessories and TPI and lame *** 20 inch wheels on your rods...Sleep ...sleep....Boyd is the authority,the one and only guru on how hot rods should be built..sleep....now when I count back to 1 to will Think.... AVOID THE MOTHA ****IN BOYD!!!!!! [​IMG]
     
  23. Final plan and I'm sticking to it...Drop it,black primer,se**** seat covers,throw the stock hubcaps on it which look cool..and sell it..
