Location: The Bat Cave, Fairborn, OH | catman - 2013-08-24 10:53 AM Easy restoration !!!!!!!  A good wash can do wonder. :cool: Big M could tackle it! A master craftsman who can bring back a seriously rotted 1959 Plymouth Fury conveertible wouldn't be bothered by a little rust from sitting outside in the weather.  |

As Doc said, it is only metal, but I think the question with this car would be, would you sacrifice a good, running 55/56 coup (or even a 4dr if that all you could find) to get this car up and going again and also at least a years labour and the ancillery costs (paint ect)?
I think its to much as the parts cars are valuable and rare themselves
If you really wanted one, then the killing of a "lower grade" car would mean nothing.
I would still try to sell it as a car, before parting out
Someone might have the parts cars sitting there already?

Location: NY & VT | Can't imagine anyone sane would attempt to restore this car unless they had or could find a dry southwestern 2 dr body that itself otherwise needs complete restoration and could be bought reasonably. Something like the '55 DeSoto coupe recently for sale in Denver on the Rocky Mountain forum for around $800 and looking super solid would be perfect.
