This car is in a salvage yard. The owner will NOT sell parts off of it.
He wants to sell it as is, for $2500.
The car has no engine, no front seat, no radio, and no side trim to speak of.
The windshield is cracked. The hood is beyond repair. No floor in the trunk.
The floors in the passenger area have been repaired about 30 years ago, but
still rusty. It has the Chevron emblems, and dual rear antenna bases.
What you see is what you get. It has no VIN.

There's a lot of spares on the car. To restore it would cost a lot. If I had a 59 Dodge I'd buy it.

.
I’ll bet the owner looked on the door jamb and found a two holes instead VEHICLE NO. plate;
He should check the place near right hinge under the hood;
Most of Hamtramck-built 1959 Dodges have VIN on the data plate together!

I checked for the VIN myself. Nothing.
You can see in the photo where the VIN is suppose to be, it was painted over a long time ago.

Being a 2-door hardtop, yes.
The 2-door specific parts are getting very hard to find.

Based on the extent of the rust, I'll bet that the car would fall apart if someone tried to remove it. I'd buy the 'picking rights' to the car for a little above scrap. If he's not interested, then you may have to wait for the estate sale.

Thanks for all of the feedback guys.
So, if I go and get this thing, I would be able to complete 1 - 1959 Dodge Coronet.
The problem with that, is that I don't have the time to build this car.
So I would have to sell both cars. Do you guys remember Fraunkensteen ?
If someone is interested, I will sell both cars for a total of $5000.
