Glad to see there are others who feel this car should be saved! In a week or two I should have it safely home. At that point I will do a little "soul searching" and decide if I should keep it or move it on to someone who actually has the intestinal fortitude to get the car done.
No worries fellas, If I don't keep it, it won't be marked
up for a big profit...It will sold "worth the money" Glen

Keith, I don't know when I would have the time to fix it, but I having a hard time passing it up...I think it should be saved.
-
To clarify:The Wagon is complete down to the wheel covers, all trim and bright work is still attached, the car has no collision damage. The engine has been started every week, but I doubt it is drivable.The car has some rust through at the rear doors (dog leg area), hood edge, and a small amount in the front floors. These areas would need patch panels. The entire car has surface rust on top. All glass is there,(1 is broken). Upholstery is all there but tattered. The frame is clean.
Originally white with a black top. Like I said all parts are still attached, but they will require repair or replacement. The car will require a complete restoration!

Centurion...Thanks for the reply...with funds to keep my present cars on the road spread pretty thin...I hate to purchase something that no one else would care to restore...If purchased, my goal would be to store it until someone else wanted to take on the project or till I could get to it. At the very least perhaps it could be used for parts to restore other 54's.

I have the chance to buy one of these in complete running, but not driveable condition...(from the original owner). The car has a little rust...it needs everything but could definitely be saved. Anyone interested?
The question:
Is this car something that folks here would consider a practical project? The sale price $800.00
Please educate me. Glen in TN.

Help...someone please remind me!
Do the 60-70 Wildcats use the 5 on 5-bolt pattern?
More specifically...will the ralleys from a wildcat fit an A-Body car?
I know the Electra uses a 5 on 5, but thought that the Wildcat was built on the lesabre platform??? Help? GB

Well said Matt!
GM does seem to be in a state of confusion!

What a hoot (GRIN)
I too was born in 1958…
The year Harley Earl retired...
His influence could still be seen in the cars I remember from my early years.
His memory will live on at my house I named my oldest Son "Harley" after him!
The automobile was his canvas… where he created the rolling artwork we still lust over.
