MrYenko posted:Look at that drivers seat shot; The entire drivers side rocker is missing. I think the frame sits way, way inboard on the Packard super 8, the chicken wire area is purely cosmetic unless you're a heel toe shifter. I've only recently decided to become an Internet Expert on straight 8 cars but I'm pretty sure that's the case. Here are some photos of the frame rail being way inboard of the body at that point

While I get what you're saying the body part of body-on-frame construction is not "purely cosmetic". And the level of rot in that spot is indicitive of the overall level of rot - that thing has like 1.2 Sockingtons, it's a candidate for rebuild only for someone who can fabricate complex sheet metal parts and/or has access to another body that is in much better shape, so they can use this car as a donor for some parts, maybe.

I guess my level of sheet metal hosed-uppedness tolerance is higher than most. That looks like a 4 hour job to me and pretty within tolerance for a 75 year old unrestored car

If for some ungoldly reason, you want a boys' anti tank rifle in a turret in the back seat of your sweet, 3 ton, 85hp ride, I give you the WWII Humber light reconnaissance vehicle. It allegedly goes 75 miles per hour on flat roads  Based on the pretty cool looking Super Snipe

How's the truck market? 50 large, 2wd three year old diesel f350 with a salvage title.   The new bed doesn't line up. The bed alone would not salvage the truck.     https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/elk-grove-2020-ford-f350/7609937408.html

Citroen DS station wagon $4000 no details besides "part out" Los Angeles area Looks moderately complete, the DS21 had the much newer, improved 2.1L engine that put out considerably more power than the ancient 1954 design 1.9L which was really a warmed over version of the 1934 engine Hadlock fucked around with this message at 08:44 on May 1, 2023 |

$12,000 prewar Essex, 13,000 miles barely $1 per mile Suicide front and rear doors Wooden wheels Smooth inline six Ran when parked        This manual 4 speed has an inline 6 cylinder engine. It was detailed by the Harris Group, and driven only on rare occasions. The nitro blue paint shows through great. This car has been in storage and will be coming out Wednesday morning and will be ready to show Wednesday afternoon. It hasn’t been started in about 22 months, but ran great prior to storage.

What's funny is Who's the Boss was 84, and Strange Brew was 83, so the vans were 6-7 years old at that point and made to look ratty as hell.   Looking at the interior color, maybe they were the same van.

I'm always stunned to find out you can buy model T for $5-12k all day long and good condition model A for under $18 Fast and Furious needs to include a supercharged flathead Ford V8 in their next movie

1965 shelby cobra body only plus parts. Body came off a complete car. Comes with windshield, headlamps and tail lights, lemans gas cap, soft top and seats some suspension and steering parts. Price is body and parts only not a complete car anymore. I’m not sure of the manufacturer but it is a decently built body. Doors all hinge and close nicely, needs a little bit of fiberglass repair and clear coat is pealing. And yes that is a Lamborghini Diablo body behind it and it may be for sale soon.

That generation van started production in 1971 (through 1996!) The blue one has round headlights with their own surrounds, which would be pre 1978. The red one has "small" bumpers, so also pre-78. I can't see enough detail on the blue one, but the red on has a middle body line continuing past the doors, which according to Wikipedia makes it a '77. The mirrors on the blue one look like the later style (different from the blue one, BTW.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_van#Third_generation_(1971-1996) I knew they were basically the same for a couple of decades, but wasn't up on the details. Hadlock posted:
Oh, hey - that's the same steering wheel (and tach!) my dad has on his '55 Bel Air. And yeah, that's a decent price, if it's as represented. Given the prices falling, I kind of want a Model A (or, more accurately, a Model B) just for fun. Old enough to be "old", but new enough to have "modern" things like foot throttle, juice brakes, and synchros. also very well supported in the aftermarket.

Have you looked at a Citroen Traction Avant? You get all that plus independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering, and you're not Old Ford #756 at every car show Highly recommend a model A or B though, if you find a moderately well preserved one you can maintain it like a lawn mower and yeah, infinity aftermarket support
