Guest shadetree77 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Found this on EBAY. It seems to be a good, solid start for a project car. Barn dust and bird poop included. And do my eyes deceive me, or is that an old BCA sticker on the middle of the windshield?:confused: No reserve and it hasn't even reached $500 yet! Thought I'd post it here so it has less of a chance of becoming a rat rod or a low rider! I don't know anything about the car or the owner.

michel88 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I hope someone saves it. It's a Roadmaster with the 320 cu in engine, and would be a good driver. If it was mechanically restored and a little done to the body it may make sense to just enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 It would probably take $35,000 to get it in decent condition, :eek: $35,000.000 ???!!! Tha's a lot for a Mexican blanket :eek: Jake you gone after that Super yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I agree with Woody. Just fix the worst rust in the floors, go over the brakes & fuel system, and just drive and enjoy it. The body, trim, and glass are nearly perfect, other than some rocker panel rust (most of which is hidden by the rocker mouldings) and fixable floor rust. What a great old car just to drive and enjoy! I'm a sucker for these early 1950s Roadmasters but this one is too far away for me. Engine is probably in great shape with only 80,000 miles.Pete Phillips, BCA #73381949 model 711949 model 591950 model 76Rand others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadetree77 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Agreed guys. Maybe a set of used tires, slap that hub cap in the back seat back on there, polish/replace some of the chrome along the way and enjoy driving the heck out of it!! Hey.....that sounds familiar....hmmmm.:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 LOTS of great detailed pictures but the SOLID in bold letters is a little misleading after looking at the floor and trunk pictures. Still could be patched and enjoyed though. I suspect it will go for in the mid teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buicknutty Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Neat car, it has some good potential, but as mentioned it being a 4 door rather limits it's value. I too like the idea of doing a "minor restoration" on it, and driving it. It's only a day's drive for me! Whoops! Did I say that?? I'd love to see someone get it and fix it, rather than part it.

MrEarl Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 LamarI have 7 non running project cars, so have to sell (at least) one and opted for my 48 Chevy Suburban. But, it did not get too much action on ebay. I have somebody in Florida that wants it, off ebay, so we will see. The sellers price is NOT an issue. At $1500 that car is priced right. Just space, never enough of it....7 ???!!!! Dang that's more than I got, and all mine are one make and year. At that price you can afford a $75 cover for it until you sell something. And also, at that price, don't snozze on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have to be honest, I'm really tempted to nibble on this one, but the logistics getting it to Toronto, as I don't have a trailer and tow vehicle, and I don't have space for it. I know it's going fast though! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 All right, who ended up with it???? Auction was ended by the seller because item is "no longer available". That usually means someone made an offer that could not be refused outside of ebay.Smartin?Keith?Come on, 'fess up!Pete Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I just checked, and the listing says that it is no longer available. Would this mean that it was sold locally? Maybe I missed it, but I did not see anything about it being for sale local. Is this on the level? Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It wasn't me! Maybe just as well, for harmony on the home front!Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smartin Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I actually wanted the car, but I was outbid, then by bid was canceled...and I come home to this. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) I checked the listing again, and he said to call him and he could/would make it a "buy it now", and I suppose that's what happened.
