This one is likely going to need a completely new frame, it has as the seller puts it, “some soft spots”.

[snide]

Would take some deep pockets to get that back on the road, in presentable condition. :yesnod:

Yep, REALLY deep pockets!

Suspect it'll sell for 20/25 large. THEN the "ker-ching" starts...
Frame - $$$
Birdcage - $$$
Interior - $$$
Engine, trans, brakes, etc. - $$$$$
Bodywork/paint - $$$
All the other nickel & dime stuff - $$$

IMO, It would make FAR better sense to look at something like this:

Beautiful. However, I'm not sure I'd want something that nice. I'd want to drive it.

[Fasglas]

So... drive it. It won't break, but if it does, fix it.

Simple, really.

:iagree:

However, unlike a new one, I wouldn't drive it in the rain or snow. :leaving:

Look at the water line on that front tire. The lower front of that car spent some time in the water. Entire front suspension and more is likely garbage.:yesnod:

No way in hell I would touch that thing. You'd end up broke and on anti depressants......:yesnod:

5K or less and part it out.

Or buy another one with a butchered or damaged body and use this one as a parts car.

That would be the only way. I wouldn't try to salvage the whole car. That said, the car is already up to like 18k. Someone's butthole is gonna hurt trying to fix that wreck.
