buick man Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Found on Craigslist: 57 Roadie, black 4-door. Please someone save this car. $ 1,500. Complete car. Yikes - The front bumper is worth the asking price ! I would buy it in a second if it was in my neighborhood. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/5502541292.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC-car-guy Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Mr. Earl, you need to drag her to GA since it's a bill of sale state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'd buy that car for anyone who would sign a binding contract for me to make it a reliable and presentable car for local shows and cruise nights. Even better deal, a free car. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-g-g0 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I would have already bought it if it had a title. Indiana is TOUGH! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the extra money at this time but I've got tons of parts for this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash her off n get her running - It's all ready to go just the way it is to one of your little cruise nights :)' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Yeah, the chain, that's what I was pulling. The $1500 is the entry fee. There's a lotta, lotta money that will need to flow once that car comes home. I still look at those project cars and sometimes I buy one, but they don't stay around long at my house. Everything after the purchase price costs pretty much the same whether it's a 4 door or a convertible. I'm getting choosy about what I buy because of space and how well I know the cost of my expectations. I'm a fairly honest guy and do good work without overcharging. SO, for me to make an offer to turn that car into a presentable and reliable driver, rather than pondering MY motives, how much do the gentle readers estimate the cost of such a contract to be? Not a high point car, just a nice car the wife can run down to the store, buy a gallon of milk, and get a thumbs up at a stoplight? I have two cars I paid much less than that for. Check your September 2008 Bugle. Bernie Edited April 2, 2016 by 60FlatTop (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhclark Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 It's CLOSE! lol. The wife is screaming NO!!!!! No title is a deal killer. I have no idea of what it takes in Ohio to get one in such a situation. The '57 also doesn't state anything about running or driving, but we know it doesn't stop. There's also a neat '55 Century coupe listed nearby, possibly in better condition. runs and drives, but is $3750. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/5518795001.html Neither is returning emails asking for more photos and information.

He's calling that a century, but there's only three holes.... Better check the body tag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhclark Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 So, that makes it a Special Sedan instead of a Century Hardtop....which cuts the value in half? Roughly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
