OK guys, I drove the 2.5 hours up north to look at the 51 chevy deluxe....
Here is the good-
Frame is in great shape
all stainless trim is in good shape
all windows are in tact
doors close solid
not a lot of rust
chevy 4x4 steering box
trunk is rust free- no holes
maybe more, we will see what you guys think
Here is the bad-
Front axle is all rigged onto the frame (out of a dodge)
Axle is too wide for the car
whole interior floor is shot
rear quarter panel needs a patch
doors need lower skins
Now I know this is about what to expect from a 2500 dollar car, but I was honestly thinking of offering him 1500. Plus, the work may be out of my capabilities as I really do not have anyone with gasser knowledge near me. What do you think after seeing the pics?
Here they are!











I am thinking pass on this......
