JerseyHarold Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 It's about 20 miles from me, and if I didn't have my other cars I'd take a look. http://cnj.craigslist.org/car/694954532.html Quote
Captain Neon Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Somebody's bound to pick that one up soon. From the pictures, that looks like a nicer car than mine and I get compliments all them time. If I lived closer, I'd go look at it. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 Am sure that close up will show a lot more rust and such..these cars can look pretty good at 15-20 feet in a picture...shots of the lower doors..back of the trunk corners at the gravel pan, these were also notoriuos for rust on the lower grill opening even into the fender itself..not to mention the typical floor, rockers and trunk...the padding between the body and the gas tank was enough to destroy both panels over time. Teh 49-52 model just seems to attract rust more so than the P15/D24 cars... Quote
JerseyHarold Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Posted June 15, 2008 I agree there's probably a lot of bondo lurking under that repaint. At least someone in the past took enough interest in the car to do whatever bodywork they did. The 49-52 were the first non-running board bodies and I guess they had to work out some kinks in the rocker panel design. Quote
oldmopar Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 Harold, that is close to home but I will resist temption I just towed this little trailer home Friday also came from Craigs list Ed Quote
JerseyHarold Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Posted June 15, 2008 Ed, Craigslist is like a candy store and you have to stop before you get cavities! Harold Quote
62rebelP23 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 wouldn't be surprised to find a better car than it looks; the rear gravel pan clearly shows some rust but this is a common problem. i'm often amazed at how well these cars hold up with little or no upkeep! Quote
