alsancle Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I think if you got the car for free and finished it yourself, you would still be way underwater. However, 35/36 Auburn are great cars. Even the six-cylinder one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a “car” it’s a garage full of stuff. Heavy iron pieces that will need to be loaded individually into a truck. No shipper will take on the task so it’s up to the buyer to literally do the heavy lifting. These type of ads are actually saying: “I want you to pay me to clean out my garage, there MIGHT be a COMPLETE car in there but most likely some critical pieces have been misplaced. I’m not offering you a car, I’m charging you for an adventure”. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken on more than one of these projects. Most people are smarter than me and won’t touch them. I enjoy the challenge - but only if the buy-in price is very low. High risk = low price. You are right about the misplaced parts. There is always something missing. Almost as bad - wasting time on the extra stuff that accidentally came from a different project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
