Yeah, it probably is! $800 for a '46 Ford Business Coupe. Pretty stripped down but the body is all there. It's on my local CL. I don't have the time or space for it but someone else may. Somebody should look into this.
It looks like a long door Club Coupe but nevertheless the price is a steal. Easy flip if whoever gets and decides not to do anything with it.
Should be really depends how rusty. Have a****le? How stripped is it? May be parts only and hard to recover $800 in parts.
Posted 25 days ago on C/L. Bring $500. As joey mentioned, a****le would be a huge bonus in CA. We keep hearing that "it's way too expensive" to build an old car. This would be a good example of a "budget starter" old car for a youngster or family man on a budget looking to enter the hobby. Yeah, it's got rotted rockers and door bottoms, but it's not beyond some hard work and determination. Another $500 for a wrecked V-8 car could provide a drivetrain and get a guy into the hobby on the cheap. No, it's not a early 30's 3/W Coupe, but it could get a guy or Dad and the family out to cruise night (in something other than his Honda). Like real estate, you can't always start with your dream car. He could eventually use his sweat equity to trade/sell up to something else that better fits his style later, making him one step closer to his ultimate car.
Fix the rusty rockers and start the gasser conversion. That car would probly bring almost $2000 in Virginia.
