    Yes. You are missing proximity. It’s a long haul for you. But at 4.5 hours away, I’m considering how divorced would I be if I went and got it. It looks great, of course there are no interior shots so might be a mouse house inside. And it doesn’t say why it was originally parked. But still very tempting.

    that coupe is still available--the person who was coming to look bailed--someone close go look/call?

    I've already got a '40 DeLuxe coupe & more projects than I'll ever complete, so I am putting it up here for HAMB members to consider. All your missing is the money to buy it.

    Ha! Agreed Doug. This would make for a great sleeper. Pretty darn solid looking too. I noticed it was given a "rattle-can" rebuild to help with the sale. Too bad I sold my brothers 1970 Hemi (fresh complete engine with dyno report).
     
  10. They used the wrong color. It’ll never run right.

  13. The front wheel/tire combo really solidifies the unsolidified look of the Tbird.

    I think it's the transparent rockers, but either way.

  15. The use of negative fenderwell space is a focal point.

    You would have to want a 55 Tbird real bad to tackle that one.I bet the trailer axle is part of whats holding it up,looks to be a dandy parts car if you had one,cant buy much parts for 500 bucks.

    There are cheap (to me that means low price, let's say under $1,000) vehicles, but what is $1,000 or less going to get you in 2024? Something like this:

    Now, IMHO, you are better off saving your pennies and spending more upfront, but where there's a will, there's a way.

    I'd buy that rotten Tbird for $500 in a heartbeat if it were near me. It's not worth saving anymore but it would part out and make a healthy profit, T-bird parts do really well, even down to the nitty gritty nuts and bolts type shit.
