LOL, not sure yet. He said he would take $1900 and no less as he had an offer of $1800 already. He sent me some pics of the interior and it doesn't look awful. He's had it about two yrs and he got the motor loose and that's all he's done to it. He's a younger guy in his early 20's judging by me creeping on his profile pic on Facebook. My wife and I may take a look at it today on our way to SF. She thinks it's a worse idea than I do. If I knew I could make a buck on it , that would help my decision, but they really don't seem to be worth a ton of money.

No, they are definitely the redheaded stepchild of the automotive arena, but the world seems to be fresh out of cherry '40 Ford Coupes. Originally Posted by 53 Chevy5

Their value is partly what makes them a good buy. I was actually searching for an old Mopar and discovered, they don't seem to age badly, and the majority of 'drivers' are survivors that only needed minor refurbishing. Also, parts are available and tons of NOS to be had.. FWIW, I did buy/ overspend a bit a factory stock 1950 Plymouth SD P20 Club coupe for $5,500 because I liked it. I can't pick it up till next monthYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

I didn't look at the P12, I was working on Rita most of the afternoon and between the 53, T/A and the Camaro I have enough to maintain. I gotta leave some time to drive these things with the Mrs and not just work on em.
I better stick with my "seriously, not looking to buy anything", you guys just about had me with another project on the yard though

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

You must have a "want" for another project other wise you wouldn't be on the computer searching for another project. It seems to me you have too much time on your hands maybe? Originally Posted by 53 Chevy5

I don't know if it's too much time or I forget about all the things I need to do
I'll know what I need when I see it, I think I would have picked this one up if it was a bit cheaper so I couldn't say no. My problem is I think too many things are awesome and I always see the finished product in my mind and forget how much time and money it takes to get there. I haven't even shared the pics of the 74 Luv, 82 Thunderbird, 74 Caddy and others I've found I think I would like my next project to be a 4 door and I'm always kinda looking for that perfect 62-63 Impala to put a 5.3 in 
, but later of course

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
