RobertKB Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Here is a car that is local to me which is restorable but probably better as a parts car. I took a lot of parts off a four door parts car similar to this one for my '51 Dodge D39 business coupe project which is the Canadian Dodge based on a Plymouth. This car is way overpriced but if the seller was reasonable, it would be worth picking up as a source of parts to have as spares or move on to other people's projects. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/lethbridge/1952-plymouth-cranbrook/1508653538 Edited June 27, 2020 by RobertKB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I own 2 of them as well. It's a shame the windows are blown out of this one. They made the difference between 'parts car' and 'restorable'.

Los_Control Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Am I wrong? car in that condition, $500 ... Just a joke they have a car with blown out glass that is easy to replace, It allows weather in the car that creates a lot of damage. If they think that rust bucket is worth $2k ... I hope they send it to the crusher and get $2 for the metal. The only value that car has is for the next person is willing to put in on it. If it was a chevy or a ford, every part is cheap and delivered to your door. ... A mopar that thing will need more money invested, then what finished car will sell for. Takes a special kinda fool to build a mopar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree on value. $CDN500.00 at most as it does have some saleable parts. I would want it mainly as a source for power train parts as spares. Haven’t seen it but if engine is there with accessories I might pick it up. A friend with an RV storage yard said I could keep it there if, BIG IF, I buy it. Spare parts would be for the pictured old girl. Edited June 27, 2020 by RobertKB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish you the best of luck ... just sad that some watch TV and think $2k is a acceptable starting point. Sure wish they would stick their money where their mouth is, and rebuild and sell themselves. They have no plan for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't always look like that. Pictures show the car as it was found. It was a six year project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
