41ratsledrodder, this is calling your name!

Even out the top on the passenger's side and weld it in place...

...pick the motor up off the ground and dump it back in...

INSTANT DEATH ROD KUSTOM!!!

Too bad it's so far away!!!

 

WTF? It's fixable.......lol!

 

Ran fine when we drove it in here. Parked it 'cause it needed a muffler. Gonna put it on E-Bay next week if you don't take it. I even got the title, 'course it's in gramps name and he died in 74 but you shouldn't have any problem gettin' it transfered. I do it all the time.

 

Sweeet!! Hahaha!!

 

That is a lot better than the 53 Merc I got a crank out of. Sat with no hood in a field for decades. Rolled it over, and wound up torching the rods to get the crank, a virgin in perfect condition!

That one in the auction has several hundred $$ in good parts.

Stamped steel bell house and matching starter mount, rear quarter spears, headlight rims and rings, crank, and who knows what else.

If that was a local car I'd be all over it for $50.

 

I call dibs seriously I'm bid on it. If any body need parts assuming I win, big assumption let me know. I am going to take what I want and then put the ol girl to rest...

 

I guess I'm not the smartest quill in the quiver but what's a Ford Mercury? Looks like a merc to me.
It would be fun to resurrect, if I was down a couple of projects I'd be all over it.

 

Hey Lucky, I could use the timing cover as well as the quarter spears.

 

nice chop..

 

Lucky, count me in, I need some stuff for my 54 Sun Valley. I could use what is left of the front bumper/grille, fenders and dash.
You can cash in on the headlights, I have seen them for $50 at swaps, I have plenty.

look at what else he has for sale,the 32 coupe is the deal........

I see "Chrysler DeSoto"s for sale on eBay all the time. It's a "DeSoto <model name>" but whatever...

The best auctions are where the guys spell it "DESOTA" even though the item they're selling says "DeSoto" right on it.
