"I buy junk cars cheap & sell cl***ics for top dollar!" That is how it seems though with some of the stuff I have seen over the years. Gary 4T950 Chevy Guy
ok, PLEASE, tell us the story! Serious! It could be the coolest thing ive ever read. How/where you found it, or whats being done to it now. Please.
The heat will die down just be patient. "rat rods" are "in" prices will go back to normal. At least I keep telling myself this
A guy can take a car to the s****per and get around $100, if crushed $200 - s****'s been floating in the $70-$80 a ton range lately. For a while there it was up to like $110 a ton one of the places here, guys were lined up to dump stuff 10 deep all day long, even guys with S-10 pickups that had literally $20 worth of tin on the back. If you can buy a car under $500, that's in one piece and more or less complere, especially a prewar car, you're doing good. If it's a Ford, make that $1000 and under. (If it's a 32-3-4 3-window, make that under $20,000 plus your choice of arm, leg, left nut, wife or first born kid). Around here the guys with lots of cars get $300-$500 most places and that's still cheap enough I can flip them and make money. Heck, I found a one of 1700 or so '53 Buick Skylark the other day. Wrecked, beat to hell, sat on it's top for years, but tons of good parts left on it.
Got my 37 chevy pu cab for $300 by looking and searching for something that I liked and could afford. It has surface rust but that is what I like. I do not consider it a hotrod or a ratrod, it is just my old truck, and we took the time to make it safe. It cost me $5000 or 6000 to complete. But I do not want to sell unless some one came up and offered me a lot of money. Here you go what I have for sale. 46 plymouth 2 dr sedan $800 nice body some rust no motor or trans. 50 plymouth 4dr $500 had motor running good gl*** all around but also has rust. both are ***led in my name. and I have more than that into both of them. Just look around and you might find a better deal.
Sometimes when you win, you really lose. Sometimes when you lose, you really win. Sometimes when you win or lose, you really tie. And sometimes when you tie, you really win or lose.

ok. after perusing the cl***ifieds...i take my original response to this post back. prices are outrageously, unreasonably, unsubstantiated and downright "highway roberry" type high for no good reason.
