Hot Rods What would you do?

Can get this car for almost nothing couple hrs of my time. Would you get it and what would you do with it?

wow...they have that buggered up. how is the front clip? hood looks bent. i see it as just a parts car, fenders/dash/decklid...maybe hood

i think the rear window may be worth saving

 

I wouldn't do anything with it. The body style is far from being desirable and looks like a rust bucket. Wouldn't be worth the time and effort. It takes just as much time and money to build a Fugly car as it does to build a good looking one. Walk away from it.
You asked for opinions and I gave you mine.

Only you know what your skill level is and how much time and $ you are willing to put into it.

 

1. What are the lost opportunity costs?
If you buy/build that, what other project will get postponed, financially & chronology?

2. Do you have space for another project?

 

Yard art.....

 

No.

 

No I don't have room really parts was more my angle it got a nice straight axle setup up front with what looks to be big finned drums. should have took a picture of it

Years back I traded a Corvair for a pig.
Know any farmers?

 

Leave it on display at fruit stand or antique shop.

 

Parts. Scrap whats not marketable.

I tried to jump a pond with one just like that in about 63, ended badly to say the least. Come to think of it, that could be the one. If so it hasn't changed much.

 

Some cars are not worth saving. That's one of them.

 

Twenty mins with a Sawzall would have the ''good'' side ready to hang on an upper level shop wall.

 

opinions are like..........In 3 2 1 GO!

 

Scrap steel is $185 a ton, whole cars $130 a ton. Is it worth your time to pick it up and haul it to a scrap yard?

 

Those tires look like they have pretty good tread on them.

 

I've had two of those and couldn't sell hardly anything off either one, a 46 and a 47. Hell I still have a box full of gauges sitting in the garage that I can't sell.I did use the front and rear suspensions from them though but that one looks all buggered up in the rear.

 

I'm thinking just grabbing the front axle and some cash for my time, I got room for that

Chappy

 

Double NO!

 

Straighten out that mess in the rear
Chop the crap out of it and have fun

 

If you don't love it, leave it where it is, and unless you have a need for whatever you want to take off of it, you may never find anyone that does.
Is it worth the time and effort to scrap it? Gene

 

me. I would get it.
Either as yard/lawn art or more likely would get drunk with a mate and try and chop the top just for shit n giggles. With utterly no plan to take it much further than that one days mayhem.

 

Use it for. target practice

Parts only, and only if you have a need for them.
Time to remove , store, and try to sell the parts exceeds any potential profit gained.
Free seems too much..I'd walk away.

 

Yard Art at best.

 

Screw it man, that has the potential to be the scariest hooptie POS out there if you wanted it to. Leave the body alone, deal with anything needed to put a drivetrain in there (personally I would try for a 360 and floor shifter) and steer it, pop a seat in and go cruising in your new project rustbucket.
