Art & Inspiration Interesting inexpensive Craigslist cars

I’d talk as many termites as I could to hold hands good enough that I could make that Packard go and stop.

 

And that's $200 Canadian so like $150 or so US.

 

I talk gibberish goodly but I have no idea what you’re communicating here.

 

Patch it up and cruise

 

1955 Dodge Royal. $6500
Not exactly cheap, but a great starting point.

cold war motors needs to see that Packard!

 

he does build some cool stuff...

 

On the wrong side of the country, if it was in Alberta, (where coldwar motors is) it would already be at my house!

 

Well, maybe DD speed shop can drag it back for you. He seems to be zooming back and forth. I'll admit I don't have all those friendly northern locales fixed on a mental map.

 

1936 $2500

That Hudson would be a nice cruiser if it can be revived with a reasonable amount of time and money.

That 55 Ply in atlanta looks pretty good for the money

 

Something tells me that South Dakota to Georgia would be considered a long road trip.
I did think it was worth posting, even if it didn't meet @Big Dad s criteria.

 

What I have been looking for is 2dr hardtop 1955 Plymouth , found a few really, really rusty ones . most I have found have no****le aka-dealbreaker .

 

The car looks very nice for the price. I personally don't want to buy any car without a****le from anywhere close to a natural disaster area. I know there are a lot of people in the SE that are still recovering from the hurricane. You can count on people to go in and take things that aren't theirs and sell them. Wouldn't you hate to get a great deal like this one home only to find out someone has reported it stolen after they finally got back into their home? He would need to get a new****le for me to buy it.

 

@snoc653 fully agree with your thoughts, but GA is one of those states where a****le is not required, so I can understand why the seller may not have one.
https://www.dmv.org/ga-georgia/buy-sell/state-regulations.php#:~:text=Titles are not required in Georgia for vehicles,is newer than 1985, a****led is required.
Buying Without a****le or Registration
"Titles are not required in Georgia for vehicles 1985 or older, but you will need to provide the Bill of Sale when you register the car in your name, so be sure to take it with you to your local County Tag Office's Office. If the car is newer than 1985, a****led is required.
If the registration is missing, you'll need to go to your local County Tag Office's Office after contacting law enforcement to inspect the vehicle and the VIN. With this documentation and your Bill of Sale, you'll be able to register the car in your name."

I'll also mention flat Black hides a ton of sins and the pics aren't the best. I just wanted to say Hi to BigDad.

 

no****le here , wasn't a problem 20 some years ago but laws have changed and it amazes me how many cars are for sale without****les

 

Is this the James Laga car? Sure looks like it. Needs a lot yet, but what a cool piece of work!

 

Was it on riks site that he posted regular updates where he would add something then take it off and try something else? Car seems familiar. If so, tons of work and inspiration.

 

That's Telstar, isn't it? Always got excited when he'd update his build thread, but nothing in a long time. Life changes, but I'm sorry he decided to part with it. Miles of welding on that car, cool as hell. So who knows the story?

 

This is what he was shooting for.

 

And this shows the amount of work left on it. Interesting for sure.

Miles of welding left for sure. has a****le.

 

^^^^^If I didn’t have so many projects now I would almost have to get that rascal.

 

I removed it as someone said there needed to be contact info. I wasn’t able to share it from Facebook to Hamb……. Oh well
