Just saw on Ebay a '52 split. Does anybody think it is worthy looking. Located in Michigan, looks pretty decent. Is there a trustworthy shipping co somebody has used out there to get it to Oregon? Reserve is at $1026 so far!! :D

Lucky you!! I just hate the idea of shipping from someone else. Afraid they put chains or something over the hood to hold it down!! I am watching it too! Its not your yet!! :lol:

Cory,
No doubt...what a Newbie move!

ps...Keep in mind, restoring a split is crazy expensive, even if you get the car for cheap.

Good luck bro-

I dont know if you read it , but it says no shipping..

NO SHIPPING! Looks like you guys will have to drive to Michigan to get it.

Carefull guys, that split needs some crazy expensive parts to restore it.

Have you tried finding '55 and earlier seats lately! :D

does it say where in Michigan?. (I haven't looked...they have ebay locked out at work)...I won't be buying, but if its close and someone needs a set of eyes to actually look at it, let me know.

you are retarded if you are willing to pay 10k for that car.

You might get that hunk for $1,000 but its missing probably over $25,000 worth of parts.

Tue Jun 15, 2004 1:34 pm

id get it but not restore it back to factory, id probably not worry about some of the parts if they looked correct and fit, but id put in a hipo motor and sell the old..but yes, still quite a bit of money/parts needed for that thing

maybe thats just a scare tactic, to make the guy think that the price will be that high, so he backs out early. i agree w/ you riz, 10 g's for that is way to much. aswell, it's like 2splitwindows said, it's missing a whole lot of expensive, hard to find parts.

it would make a cool drag racer tho. thats what i'd do to it.

Good luck on who ever wins. Your probaly going to spend 20 times as much as you paid for it the restore that bad boy.
