MackTheFinger Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Strange how some vehicles will never be worth a plug nickel but some others will, regardless of how good they may be.. A friend of mine bought a brand new 1962 Corvette when he graduated from high school. Sometime in the '90s we were cruising his old neighborhood in St. Louis and he pulls up at this old shop on Sublette, said he hadn't been there since he moved to the country in the '70's and that one of his old high school friends worked there way back when.. We barely got in the place and this old guy leaning across a fender looks up and says, "We were just talking about you the other day, someone brought in one of those G.D. Corvettes!" They had a good laugh and my buddy said it was the worst piece of junk he ever owned... That piece of junk would be worth serious $$$ today, patina or not.. Perspective?? You got me, daddy-o!!

RobertKB Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) You want patina, here is patina!! I believe some cars, like this 1954 Plymouth Suburban, are beyond restoration but this old girl still has some useful parts. A little overpriced in my opinion. https://www.ebay.com/i/183046312241 Edited May 8, 2018 by RobertKB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 little high....at that price Bonnie and Clyde's remains should still be in the car along with their weapons. Put a decimal mark before the last two digits and it is borderline high to a scrapper given the cost to recover transport and sell.....

Young Ed Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 it's probably priced high to keep some rat rodder from stuffing a v8 under the hood and driving it like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 If the frame is square, that would be quite a sight with a hemi, going down the freeways at 80 mph with large NRA markings. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could paint it yellow, make it look like a block of cheese. Put Green Bay stickers on it, drive it to the home games. Or make look like sponge bob. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're into patina, you can't do better than this fine '54 Plymouth wagon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatie46 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I would buy it but its missing a couple trim pieces that would be hard to find. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
