my $500 52 chevy

thought id share a few pics of my 52 i just bought for $500 here in texes


i got it pretty much as seen except the rear end is out and the front clip is off in the pics

 

looks pretty complete for 500. the interior panels look like good driver quality.

texas is pretty dry but any major rust issues?

 

that looks like a hell of a deal for $500. the upholstery looks decent. you could re-motor it , check the vital stuff like brakes,exhaust and tires and have a lot of fun for not much money

 

hardly no rust at all but... it was so rust free someone did decide to borrow a patch panel cut out of the right rear fender

its an easy fix so im not complaining

what baffles me is that its a missouri car only been in texas since 94 yet its still rust free

 

That was a steal for 5 bones. I see it's got the orange crusty **** between the gauges, from one of those plastic oil change reminders. My dad's '54 has that in the exact same spot. What are the plans for it?

 

you done great , nice score!

 

plans so far is its going way low to the ground 4 wheel power disc brakes

and a 302 chevy backed by a th350 and a 23" lokar shifter

been buying alot of stuff from evil bay this week so some action begins anyday now

ill keep upading here with pics as it goes along

 

hell of a good price. I paid $600.00 for one all rusted to ****. a 4 door with no door bottoms at all on any door. parted it out and got over $3500.00 though so I didn't mind paying too much.

 

$500=steal.
nice work. great little cars.

 

Damn great score for sure - congrats

 

heres a few more pics i snapped figured id show the bad too it really ****s someone borrowed the quarter panel

 

Nice find! This has all kinds of potential.

 

Texas does not have a monopoly on rust free cars, Missouri doesn't get all that much snow and they used to use mainly cinders and sand when they did. Used to be lots of solid iron there. Might still be but if there is the Missouri boys won't "show me".

 

looks like a pretty sweet deal. i would have bought it for $500 too.

 

Very Nice!

 

Nice score!

 

Nice SCORE!!! but where the hell is TEXES??

 

i can't hardly believe that someone would cut a patch panel out of that car

 

I was thinking the same thing. Whats bad is they probably cut the quarter up to fix an old water tank or something. That's a nice car though, regardless of the big hole.

 

Looks good from here dude! Nice score!

 

cool ride, The price was right, now chop that ****a!

 

OH YEAH it was $600 by the time i got it home ive never been so happy to fork out a $100 finders fee

 

i wish i had the sack and the skill to chop it

maybe ill find an old heap to practice on first

 

nothing wrong with leaving the top orig.

 

Congratulations! looks like a solid project

 

Man That is one sweet buy, i wish my 54 pontiac i paid 500 bucks and it was that good of quality. I mean i got it for free but dam its rusted

 

Thats cool. I think I paid $650 for my 50 fleetline. But that was like 25 years ago. Good luck on the build.
