Here's a couple of unrestored cars that I suspect could be had cheap!

Ran when parked?

Undoubtedly! I assume they were pushed in as erosion control in a bend of a creek I pass by fairly frequently. I took the pic from the bridge. I've been watching 'em deteriorate for at least 40 years and they've held up a lot better than I would have expected.

There is a causeway built not far from here, nicknamed as carwash bay. Its full of 50’s cars.

I’ve been eyeing up a few local old Mopars for sale. People who I can tell, really aren’t dialed into the scene like so many here. Folks trying to sell and old dead car. Prices so very out of line.  A local 1937 Dodge 4 door sedan is about 3x the price it need be in my opinion. Been for sale for probably, I don’t know. Six-eight months now?
 

One thing I think I have learned over the past 4 or so years about old Mopar lovers: A large percentage of us are “do it yourself-ers”. Cheap? No. Frugal is a better word. Cheap is condescending.  Yet the mopar folks are so very helpful in sharing their knowledge. A friendly, unpretentious group. 

 

I feel the need to say that as a general rule, if you inherited  a rusty, non-running 1937 Mopar sedan, its unlikely you’ll be retiring early when you sell it. 
I’m envisioning a frozen engine.  Wheel cylinders holding flakey dry contents. Rear drum puller? Just go get the oxy-acet now. That lovely 70 year layer of sludge in the crankcase. Electrical Wiring? The kind that cracks and red dust comes out of it when you bend it. 
 

All yours for only $7500. Discounted down from the original ask of $11,000.
