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.

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...

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.

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!

Looks like the frst thing that needs attention is the parking brake..... Apparently the Standard MOPAR black wheel chock is ot part of the deal.
