Inexpensive Coupe on BaT

the coupe looks decent, but most want to hear it run.

this isnt going to the moon in its present state.
 
I am really surprised that it has gone from $2,000 to $6,000 in the last few hours. Someone must like green or cannot read.

Or it is an artificial bid by the owner or an owner's friend. I forget what it is called but there is a name for this kind of bid.

green isnt the worst color, according to stats.

the worst color is supposed to be purple, for resale.

6k is still a bargain........... ask the hot rod guys!

this sold for 12k 3 yrs ago on BAT

Ouch? Not running?

These cars are simple, it doesn’t take a scientist to get them to run. Someone complained repeatedly on BaT about non-original style points. These things aren’t hard to fix, and this car would have been a buy at $8500. I’ve never seen a group more afraid of a dead battery and moth holes than this!
 
Can’t tell you how many estate cars I’ve seen that the heirs stored them outside. They don’t know how to start or drive them and they push them outside. Seen some nice restorations quickly deteriorate.

This one is not bad considering, but clearly neglected since restoration.
 
nobody is disagreeing with you Hitman.......

but facts are facts and the owner isnt selling it for 8500.

most likely wants his 12k investment back. aint happenin!
 
I was hired to get a restored car running that sat outside in the mud for many years. The paint and upholstery were completely ruined. The tires popped when I tried to pump them up. It also does them no good to not be run for many years, even if stored indoors.
 
Finally got the car home. It appears to be very nice. No time to do any work on it right now, maybe next week. I will say, the interior cloth material is the cheapest, thinnest material I have ever seen. It needs to go, even if it wasn't water stained.
 
Hello, congratulations, true many younger people can’t drive a standard shift, add spark and gas control and separate start switch , really be confused.Good luck on your project.
 
You can use the old upholstery as a pattern if you have some sewing experience and a heavy duty sewing machine.

Did you get the car started yet?
