Hey everyone,

The car is up on eBay and I am including a link here.

Also, here are plenty of other pictures that are not on eBay.

If somebody is interested in making an offer before the end of the auction, just PM me. The reserve is low and this car will sell. Thanks!

My reserve of $9,999.99 was met in almost an hour...so it looks like it should sell!

That looks like it was in a Galveston barn.

One of the few "barn finds" that looks like it was stored in a real barn.

You made the correct move in selling it online.

I agree better idea to sell

That car is for sale on eBay right now. Birdcage is rotted out badly and frame looks iffy. No offense but i wouldn't take it for free. You could buy a NOM driver for what it would cost to bring that car back to life at DIY labor. If you have to pay someone.... fuhgeddaboudit.

I agree. There doesn't seem to be too much on that car that is even salvageable.

up to 15k on ebay.....

I saw the photo of the frame underside. There is a rust demarcation on the frame (dark rust and medium rust). My question: Was this car ever in a flood? Did this car come from Galveston, TX? Galveston has a history of flooding. Just curious.

Those pictures of the door jambs rotted out made me sick. That is nothing more than a parts car and there are very few parts that are salvageable. I agree with "wonderful", it certainly looks like it has been in a salt water flood.

If somebody was doing a "resto-mod" and getting a new frame anyway, it might make sense... depending it doesn't get much higher.

It's not just the frame that requires replacing - it's the bird cage. A new bird cage (if you can find the parts) would mean the removal and destruction many of the fiberglass pieces anyway. There will be nothing left to even attempt a "restomod".

I was down near Galveston, in Alvin, Tx, July ~25th, 1979 when some tropical storm rolled in and dumped 45" of rain in 24 hours, the entire area was flooded, where i was, was fresh water waist deep, no silt, but down by the coast, it got a lot saltier and siltier.. Coincidence it has been sitting since 1979/1980?

As far as I know the car was never in a flood and the car is not from Galveston. The car was stored near Katy, Texas which is about an hour and half north of the coast. No doubt it is still very humid and if it sat partially covered outside for 30 years it would look like this.

The humidity, heat and salt will do a real number on metal. I wish you the best of luck on your sale.

Mr D.

Tropical Storm Claudette and I think this car was there.

MiguelsC2

Wow I was joking about Galveston. But it did look like it was in a barn with high humidity.

Mr D.

On a positive note looks like Mdubtex is selling and someone is buying, so this is a win win for both sides.

wonderful

That birdcage scares me. The new owner is going to have do a lot of work to make the car safe.
