    Ok, I know a picture is worth a thousand words... but I ran across a 1951 henry J stuck in the bay of a chrysler dealership that was open from 35-68. It was left when the dealership wend bankrupt. Its red in about 2 inches of dirt, 10 point cage, old pie crusts. Missing very front grill insert but other that its all there and in great shape. No motor or trani, and its gots a box of parts in the seat but we cant open it.. no key. and dont know whats in the trunk. I have an ooffer made to me to buy for a amount, but whats this thing even worth? is it desirable? Dealership has been abandoned for 53 years, and even has a 2 ft thick tree we are going to have to cut down to get it out of the bay? No pics cause way to much stuff around it.

    Can get close enough to see a box of parts on the seat & pieces missing but cannot get close enough for pictures?

    In great shape puts it in the 200.00 to 3500.00 range depending...

    Kinda, its all dark stuffed around tons of other stuff. WAY WAY in the back. I had to squeze through everything in its dog to get to it. A pic would look like a 2 ft section of dust covered red. To much stuff in the way.

    Thats a HUGE price range?

    Thats what I was kinda guessn? Price to me is $1200 but I dont need it, just buy it to re-SALE. But dont want to be stuck with a $200 dollar car that I cant get rid of either.

  10. That's a good price on a car we can't see, pictures would tell a lot more of it's condition.

    No Sir, Cuero I think is way south, honestly never heard of it. It may not be a 10p. Very hard to count with your phone as a light. Its not a barn either....:) Why you calln me a liar? Shoot who knows, it may be a piece once we get it out?

    Thanks guys for all the help.

    You say the price to you is $1,200.00 but you don't want to be stuck with a $200.00 dollar car you can't get rid of. What is it?
     
  17. Read where it says he sold it before he ever got it off the trailer.... about 2-3 posts above
