    So you want $3,500 for an old car you haven't even got it running or fixed the flat tire? Good effort there....

    Hey,

    If it works for 40 year old Chevrolets that have sat out in the dirt for decades in Nebraska....

    At least this Dodge has been garaged. :)

    The difference with many of those old Chevys and this, is that they had five miles and an MSO.

    Yes, but most of those Chevys were not garage stored.

    For $3,500, this could be a really nice car, in spite of the lack of equipment.

    No question - I'd spend the extra $500 for the white one (if i had to).

    I am working for an estate trustee who plays that game. Real PITA. And doesn't want to pay to get them into saleable condition. Thankfully I am almost finished with this one.

    These big tuna boats probably have plenty of life left in them with a little bit of work.

    Ditto! And for a extra $500 you won't have a molding interior.


    Enlarge this pic and you will see the mold..... Mold for me = No-Sale.

    Mold would mean doing a complete gut and redo of the interior, regardless of condition.

    That Royal Monaco sedan is really sweet, and it does have factory air. The wing vents in the front doors were only available on cars with a/c. Wonder what else is on it.

    If it's found it's way into the foam you will never get rid of it, it will all ways come back. But I will ad a lot depends on where the car is located. If this was a wet coast car, it's done as the dampness would suck the mold in like a sponge gathers water.
