I wonder how much wood is in those bodys?

 

Windsors had 300” you could bolt on heads ……really desirable in the late 50’s and 60’s….

 

Kool rocker arm covers for sure!

 

Those had a 317”

 

Kinda like a 270 H head GMC…neither are a “true hemi” because the valves are inline.

 

If I was building a Vintage Gas Coupe to run at Bonneville this would be my first choice today.

 

Or rust completely out!

 

Not cheap but looks good to me. If I was a middle age man..........

With a Hudson 308 Twin H Power you could us it to tow your trailer queen & lawn chairs to shows. What a cool road trip car maybe a vintage Air Stream ?

 

'56 Windsor apparently could have a 301 or 331 poly according to one of my refs, 301 being normal in the '55.

It has nice lines.

 

Almost has an ambulance feel to it with the tall roofline

 

Since $1.00 in 1950 is worth $13.34 today, the car would have cost right at $375.00 to buy 75 years ago. Maybe that qualifies as interesting and inexpensive?

 

1950 CHRYSLER WINDSOR for sale by owner - Oklahoma City, OK - craigslist

 

1956 Chevy Bel Air for sale by owner - Girard, KS - craigslist

 

The price listed is 16,500.0 Not 16,500 or 16,500.00. That and some really odd phrasing and spelling make me seriously wonder if the asking price is actually $165,000. I have a hard time believing a car restored to that caliber is actually $16,500

This one is kinda sad, and I wonder if there's a person in the world willing to take him up on his offer. He wants to trade a whole yard full of rough, untouched projects for a couple of finished, restored cars. Who's gonna do that? Who's thinking "I've got a couple really nice finished cars here but what I really want is 100 years worth of rusty rough projects to dump hundreds of thousands into restoring over the next 40 years or so".

 

I'd be willing to bet that you're right at $165,000

 

So, what is the definition of an "inexpensive" Craigslist car?
