I came across an ad for a 57 Buick parts car. Guy said it's a lost cause but mechanically complete. Went to look at it today. Pics are attached.
Here's what is salvageable:
-364 Nailhead
-Dynaflow Trans
-Torque-tube and diff
-Radiator
-steering column/wheel
-rear windows
-hood and some trim
Guy wants $500. I figure I can pick it up for $400 and cut up the frame and shell and haul it away to the scrapyard for some $$ back. Probably the trans and diff too since I'd order an adapter kit to a GM trans I saw recently.
I guess its a no-brainer. I don't need a nailhead but I'll never find one again and I'm sure I'll find a use for it someday.
Thoughts, comments?
