50ChevyFrank Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I have not actually bought it yet… but have seen pictures. It’s a mostly original car. Still has a 235, Powerglide and 6 volt battery. Repaint sometime in the past, but still has original interior that needs work. Some trim and spare parts in trunk. And currently not running…. But for sale at a good price. Please give me your impressions and advice. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ChevyFrank Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 FYI, this deal fell through. Actually I could not go get it before he sold it to someone else. You snooze, you lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Maybe the fact that someone else bought it is a good thing.....I'll never understand how somebody that might be thousands of miles away could possibly offer an opinion of whether or not a person should or should not buy an ancient car based on a few little pictures of it on a computer screen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've generally found a friend, or at least a trusted contact to check out a distant car before making a purchase. The one time I trusted a well-known seller, but didn't get an independent opinion, I really got "skunked", and have learned my lesson! Paying a qualified appraiser is generally a good option, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Unless they were really giving it away, I don't think you missed any great deal. Badly pitted trunk emblem and handles, tell you what shape the car was in before the repaint. Rough interior, Not running. I have seen some pretty nice ones of these for sale for around 20,000. You couldn't come close to making this one anywhere near that nice for the difference and I don;'t even know the asking price, but I'm guessing it was 5 grand to 6500. Was that blue even a factory color? Looks like used car lot blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
