  • Another one meets the torch

    Sad, but what can you do?



    This was on eBay last week; ended up at $312.77, Reserve Not Met. I thought about it, but I've already got a couple I'm working on getting home

    I guess the bright side is, the seller's at least trying to get some parts out to people who need them, instead of just sending it to the crusher...[V]

    Yes, Bob; you are very perceptive.

    I'd say the absence of a battery hold-down [:0] is going to keep this car well in back of the money, for sure. BP

          Gosh, now it's my turn to decry being on the wrong side of the country! If I would be able to procure this car, perhaps between it and Frumpy, there could be one running car made. It's a shame, really, but there you have it.[8][V]

            He's SOL, you can't give away a 232 most of the time.

                I thought about it because I want a nice 52 LC specifically for a keeper- V8 3-O/D. I thought this one would be a good parts car to have around for when I find one. Odds are he will sell little off it, and it will in fact go to the crusher

                Maybe if his auction ends with a no-sale on the engine I'll contact him and see if he'll make me a deal on it.......

                    I wonder how much it would cost to drive a medium sized U-Haul from PENN. to CA?

                      Probably about the same as a running and driving 52 in good condition

                        Sad, but true[V], I'm afraid. I really would like to save the old girl, but what can I say...
