Cool car, but this thing is going to be a lot of work for a $10500 car, not worth that much IMO. I'm especially worried about all that rust. Is that a huge chunk of rusty sheet metal sitting behind the car on the ground? I thought the car was missing the engine by the way it is sitting, but nope! Could it be sitting like that due to rust?

I am not far from this car but never seen it before. The way it is sitting might just be how the ground is or maybe there is a broken leaf spring? Really hard to tell exactly how much rust is there, even the carpet is still in the trunk. Probably too much $$$

yeah look at the trunklid, whole trunk looks gone, shackle is rotted off the frame. Lots of work but these are just a trickle now.

I think the trim can be gotten from Sweden?

That stuff is unobtanium... I see someone boogered the hell out of the one door trim

Well this seems to be the same car that "60 Imp" posted about in his thread "59 Dodge coupe project" on 2018-08-07.
This has been twice on ebay by the same seller:

eBay item number: 113187027290, bidding ended: Aug 13, 2018 , 4:06AM. Winning bid: US $6,500.00 (8 bids).
He relisted it "because winning bidder Kjell Granberg of Sweden did not pay."

Second time eBay item number: 113213190675, bidding ended: Aug 27, 2018 , 4:26AM, Winning bid: US $8,082.00 (19 bids)

So go check those photos before they disappear from eBay.

Nice! He made more because the first guy couldn't pay for it!
