Gunsmoke Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Agreed Keizer31, but what can one do with this? I suppose someone could spend $30K or more to develop a driver that would then market for $10K. Or part it out for say $2500 if you are not concerned about the time to dismantle doors, trim, handle sales, etc. Awfully large car for a rod of some sort. Like you say, way too nice to scrap. Maybe someone who loves Desotos will buy it and park it in a barn for another 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithb7 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 (edited) Hard to see all these good parts melted down. Hopefully someone will buy it to support their current car. In a recent example I bought a smaller sized lot of Moar parts for about $100. So far it’s saved me about $250 from buying new parts I needed. I’ve only used 3 things! Plenty more potential savings ahead. Edited January 10, 2020 by keithb7 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Basically, I was meaning that there are way too many good parts on the car to scrap. It certainly would not pay to restore and try to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcapra Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Get it running, put a yellow taxi paint job on it and some taxi roof lights, and you have a car for the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Lawson Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I cannot understand why a car entheusiest that restores a car looks at the resale value I restore because I love the old cars and I do most of the work myself Because restoring is my love I do not put a $ value on my hours .To me its my hobby not an income 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
