What the photos show
- Salmon-pink paint is peeling off in sheets over maroon and primer, with rust scabs on the fenders and rear panel — budget a full strip, rust repair and repaint.
- The front grille is off the car and the front bumper hangs loose and rusty — the grille and lamps are visible in the parts piled inside, so check the pile carefully before assuming anything is missing.
- The windscreen is cracked across the middle — budget replacement glass.
- Steel wheels are rusty and the tires are old yard rollers — budget wheels and a full set of tires.
- The cabin is full of loose parts — hubcaps, glass, trim, a brake drum — and the seats underneath are torn and filthy — budget a full retrim after sorting the pile.
- One floor photo shows rust along the seams with daylight coming through — budget floor welding.
- The little three-cylinder engine is in place and complete-looking with its coils and fan, but dusty and long unused — budget a full recommissioning or rebuild, its condition can't be judged from photos.
- The dash gauges are present and readable but the dash paint is rusty and peeling around them — budget dash restoration in the retrim.
- No underside photos in the sample — can't judge the frame, hold back money for that inspection.
Money: at a $1,000 start this is a yard-derelict restoration core — the peeling paint, holed floors, cracked screen and parts-pile cabin are the spend, and confirming the loose parts are all there is the must-see.
