Well, one side of it looks pretty good.

I'm afraid that I would find all of that masking tape pretty embarrassing.
You would Hudsy, but some people have no shame, like asking $82,000 for a car with tape on the plug wires & distributor cap.

It's a Dodge conversion van I'm looking to buy. Would be nice to have someone give it a once over. I'm happy to compensate you for your time & travel.

For $82,000, could you please put new plug wires WITHOUT blue tape on them and a new distributor cap WITHOUT masking tape on it. And while you're under the hood, how about getting rid of all the sh--ty wiring under there, and for cripe sakes, dust/wash the air cleaner. Little crap like that makes one wonder what other stuff is wrong that may not be real visible.

Don't you dare put hubcaps on it! Ralleys & redlines for sure.
ONLY go with hubcaps if you want it to look like an old man/grandpa car.
Next thing you know, you'll be wantin' to put skirts on it, curb feelers, fog lights, and all kinds of other assorted detrimental crappy doodads.

Have been away for a while because I couldn't log in. Now I see a red circle with a white triangle & I think an exclamation point in the triangle. It's new to me. What is it? What does it mean? Hope I'm not in some kind of penalty box.

Ah man I like this one but the seller let car dilapidate. This would be a cool fifties car.
Put the interior back in (replace or recover what’s needed) and drive it just as it sits. Call it “Under restored”. A refreshing change from over restored, LS, low rider, hopper, over accessorized crap nowadays.

There is no RV. It's bait for the escrow company.
Maybe it’s an invisible RV like Wonder Woman’s invisible plane.

Is pot legal in Canada. I will assume it is and the seller is smokin’ a ton of it if he thinks that thing is worth almost 10 G’s.

There are shops such as Tank Renew that will clean, check for leaks and seal a tank. I had it done to a ‘55 Nomad of mine with no issues. Also, if it was mine, I’d probably just buy a new tank and sending unit. May be fewer issues in the long run.

Here is Prussian Baroness, Gisela Josephine von Krieger with her 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K
Roadster and the Hindenburg, the famous Zeppelin, above.
The Baroness lived in the United States, but died in Europe in 1989.However, the car remained in the United States, stored in a garage in Greenwich, Connecticut, forgotten for 40 years.One of the 25 built in 1936 and 1937, the 540 K was purchased for 28,000 Reichmarks in 1936 (app. 115,000 Euros today).It sold for $11,700,000.00 in 2012, making it the most expensive pre-war vehicle ever sold at an auction at the time.-

Has anyone here seen this car in person? Know any more about it.This 1932 E-1 Cord Experimental Limousine was driven only 779 miles when the stock market crash ended the plans for putting the big limo into production.So, it was dismantled.Paul Bryant saw the body in a barn near Plato Center, Ill.It had no engine, no fenders, and no grille shell.Paul searched for and found the missing parts and painstakingly reassembled this magnificent auto.

Base 2-door sedan for '51. Sounds like an honest seller's description. Most of the chrome appears to be in pretty good condition considering Korean War shortages and 70 years of age. I would take my "detecto-magnet" along when I check out this car. Seen too many rusty shoeboxes filled with Bondo. Check out floors and frame. too.
Probably worth close to the asking price if it's solid, and you don't mind the six.
Never heard the term "OG". ...OEM maybe?
Where did these 49-51's typically rust? I may be looking for/at a '49 coupe. Also, we hear a lot about flatheads and I think there's a certain cool factor about them, but what about this Ford 6? Are they good engines? Reliable? Easy to get parts?

Seller's Description
I am Listing the "Corvette-Truck" for Sale for the next lucky guy to enjoy! This is a 1987 Chevrolet Corvette drivetrain with a custom body made from a 1954 Pickup truck cab. Very Well Built, every part on it is brand new. Runs and drives well. Rides how you may expect. No real miles on it. Built, parked and brought back to life recently. Please message me if you would like to come check it out. Not going to be answering a lot of questions in messenger unless you are a serious buyer as I'm sure I will have a lot of messages. Thank you for looking!

"This cache might be such an opportunity for someone. I don't think it's worth anywhere near $75,000"
Looking at the amount of work involved to sort it, clean it up, re-box it, and haul it all away, how about $7500?
"I think there are enough Lincoln Ks running around that spare parts will always be in demand"
Interesting statement considering there have been several/numerous mentions regarding the older vehicles falling out of favor and lowering of prices.
I understand Ray is also looking for someone to buy out his stock so he can retire, so perhaps there's an opportunity there for someone who isn't me.
Considering the pile this stuff is in, it better be someone young. They'd need the years to sort, catalog, and combine this lot and Ray's. Count me out, but IF I did buy it, you can have your pick of any 2 mufflers just for helping me move the stuff to my shop.😁

Bird droppings add to the value of vintage/classic cars.
I bought a '62 Impala SS complete car to part out about 10 years ago. It sat in a chicken coop for 10-15 years. there was NO part or spot on the exterior (including chrome & stainless) that was not etched from the poop or the fumes.

One can see that even today, more than 30 years after the
falsehood, we are having to sort out truth.
The falsehoods of 30 years ago continue to happen in today's collector car world. I give you restamped blocks to appear "numbers matching," frames being swapped (watch any TV car show & you'll see this happen(, and the vehicle being sold without that information available to the buyer, clones being sold as something they are not (think GTO, etc.), car auctions advertising and telling potential buyers that cars are correct when they're not.
I don't think you can get away from it, even buying from a private party or dealer (no offense to any dealers here). I think you have to do a lot of research and homework on your own, or bring someone with to a sale who has great knowledge of the year, make, & model you're interested in.

$28,000 for a body shell on a frame seems to me like he's on crack. Wouldn't be surprised if the engine & trans show up for sale separately. The 1 lousy photo of the interior seems to show a seat & that's it.
