When I bought my '40 Super in 2008 this is about the shape my car was in except my car ran. I paid 6K for my Super, a little high. One good thing about this car is that it doesn't have much chrome (expensive). Before buying this car, I would get a catalog from Steele Rubber and make a list of every rubber part that is on this car, as all of it will have gone to junk (look at the tail light and check the rubber seal to the body). Then think about replacing all of the wiring because it is more than likely original. The paint does not look bad and maybe the engine is ok. IMHO just a little over priced.

If you really want to sell a car, this is how it should be presented. This is as good as this car will ever look. Something out of the ordinary and very clean.

Didn't even take the time to brush the leaves off of the rear bumper. Lazy flipper.

This was my mom's car in grey. The car that I learned to drive on. I really like this style, no "B" pillar sure helps the looks of this car. The Dynamic 88 with the "B" pillar and without the wrap around rear window does not appeal to me at all. Car looks very solid. Not a bad looking Cadillac in the background.

Not a car that you see every day. If you are one of those people who have trouble locating that Toyota Carola in the supermarket parking lot, this may be the car for you. There might just be one other '61 Plymouth in your town, but not in this color. You would really stand out from the crowd.

Best of luck with this beautiful Buick. The first thing that I would buy for my car would be Shop Manual for the "41 Buick. There are reproductions available and the manual has a wealth of information and the cost (about $25 USD) is well worth it.

IMHO the light weights are collectible the same as someone who collects any other type of dust collector. They were manufactured to promote sales of the company whichever that might be ( Chevrolet, Ford Plymouth etc.), not to be driven on the street and enjoyed. So if you buy it, you might as well put it under glass to preserve it. No fun factor for me, but my wallet isn't that thick to be able to afford this, but if it was this would not interest me.

IMO 1964 was the last year that Ford made interesting cars style wise. 1965 looks like they designed the car using a straight edge, no soft curves just straight lines.

Unusual to see two of these cars for sale in the same forum. Scruffy one for 18k, or this one that sold for 16.75k.

Sure looks good from afar, but you have the up close and personal view of this car. IMO the interior looks fantastic, I paid 6K just for the material in my car (period correct. The paint looks nice, but without seeing this close up, can you live with it? Chrome is also a big ticket item and to have it done be a quality shop......well you get what you pay for. If the engine is in good shape and only the trans needs work, if it were me I would try to shave $500 off the price and figure that would be fair to both parties. I would check NADA for their price guide.

This is a nice looking car from a distance. A close inspection would be necessary to see what you are getting into. Dash sure looks 80 years old and the steering wheel is gone, door seals and trunk are more than likely gone. Owner states the radiator needs attention and I would bet the wiring is original. to fix these issues and more could put you underwater real quick. It is a four door Special and there is a ceiling on this cars marketability. Tread carefully grasshopper as David Cardine would say.

Very nice looking car, but one of my pet peeves is showing picture of the trunk with a completely rotted out trunk seal. Inexpensive part, but that did not happen overnight and a light rain would soak anything in the trunk. Friend of mine had a Falcon Sprint same year with the 289. Fast car.

I agree 100%. The repair of any rust and the the paint, primer and blocking to look super clean alone would be 20K. That leaves you 28k to finish the car.

Big fan of this year Mercury, but never seen a 2-door. Finished car sure looks beautiful.

Sorry for the late reply Ken, but you are so right. When I started to redo the dash, first thing I did was remove the radio and grill the protects the speaker. This part of the car had never seen the light of day since 1940 and it was a faux wood grain that was green (ugly from day one). This is why I chose to deviate from stock and painted the interior trim dark grey. I could have scored more points going with the stock green wood grain, but it really looked bad. Mike

Very handsome car. Best of luck with your new ride.

Description says "1952 Road Runner" Never heard of that model, must be very rare. Can't make out the model number from the name plate, too much paint.

I thought it was a doggy looing car until I saw a pic of the furry dice and that confirmed it. But that is a nice looking steering wheel.

Why add the pic of the trunk filled with junk? Should have just shown a pic of the trunk closed.

Very nice looking four door hard top, and the two tone paint looks sharp on this car also. These cars were made to be driven, very comfortable ride.

Very beautiful car. Not sure if the price is right, but if it were mine I would live in this car.

Beautiful car, inside and out, but IMO that ask is a little high, but I've been wrong before.

I believe that once the snow flies in Illinois the market will shrink dramatically. Funny how the weather affects your thinking.

I would agree with you on most of the 1960 Fords, but IMO the Starliner with the fastback roof line is a beautiful car.

Nice looking car, wish there were pics of the interior.
