plymouthcranbrook Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Poor thing looks kinda sad just sitting there. Looks like a cheap car that will be expensive depending on how far someone chooses to go in fixing it up. The main thing I see right off the bat is the sagging suspension. Especially the right side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I need a '57 parts car! This car has all the parts I need but I have not place to park it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Interesting marketing tack - focus the buyer's attention on the puddle under the car so as to avoid noticing all of the other issues... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 One big issue with this one is the bad case of tinworm on the lower right side of the car........and the left side might soon be catching up. Those rusted rear bumper caps aren't helping things either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
