Hey I thought I would p*** his on so maybe someone could snag it. I wish I had the 3500 right now. Apparently he realized 15,000 a few years back was too much. http://www.bismanonline.com/getListing.php?tcat=2&cat=13&p=6&a=184746
Hard to tell but looks like a sport coupe with no doors and the cowl posts cut off? I guess the way to look at it is price the quarters and other parts, but with no body at all (except the cowl) there's a good $1500 there alone. Going to presume since it's in ND there's not going to be a lot of rot, although obviously someone painted it not too long ago. $3500 might not be too far off. The pickup I sold for that kind of money wasn't much better. Looks like a '51 Merc 4dr in the background with the top cut off - guy probably knows what he has.
Yeah well, he originally wanted 15000 when I stopped in and I laughed and left, lol. That was three years ago. So maybe in another 3 years it will be the right price, lol.
Yeah he is a builder. He has a few rods. bismanonline.com has some good deals though if checked periodically. I am wheelin and dealin on the 58 Chevy Delray they have on there.
I'm looking at it and from what I see it needs one of everything. A project is worth a grand, fifteen hundered at best. But it is a good starting place for someone that has some idea what to do with one.
When I look at these I try to break it down into parts. What do you have $1000.00 for a running motor? I was offered that for the one in my 50 Ford. $75 Grill Shell. $200 frame. $100.00 rear end, my buddy bought three in a lot on ebay for $200. Front axle $200? Leaves about $2000 for buying the body parts and rims, seams a little expensive to me. Got to agree with fiftyv8.
