Well since Monk already got himself a '55, I thought it would be nice to share one that he was looking at. Also since he can't seem to see all the pics I posted I'll try breaking them up into smaller posts.
Here's the pic in the advertisement.
And here's what I had to say about it.
Just off the top of my head, title checked out, and the dash looked great under the cover he had. I guess it was a custom pad that he had made for another car, anyway everything there was ok. There are a few rust spots, no big holes but areas were there are some pin holes. one is in trunk area, other is behind drivers seat. These are maybe 4-5 inch round areas that probably need some attention, but really nothing that bad. Frame as you'll see in the pics look pretty good, looks like they rattle canned the underneath, but it is pretty clean looking. And yes there is surface rust on a lot of areas as you can see in the pics, the metal seems good, you'll just probably have to treat the rust with something and then paint it. It did run, started right up, so that is a plus, Rod said he'd be able to drive it up on a trailer, but did say the brakes need to be bled, which probably means something needs to be fixed. Rod also said he had about 95% of the trim, I did notice pieces laying around. As for the doors passenger side shuts nicely, but the drivers side will need some adjusting on the lock(latch) a little clunky when you shut it. There is a small ding(dent) in the passenger side rear quarter, Rod said one of his flunkies ran into it, I took a pic, it's really nothing to worry about, it'll easily come out. As for the body on the outside it is straight, pretty much ready for paint. Also door hinges squeak. All in all I guess for it's age it's still a pretty sound car, but don't get me wrong there is some work that needs to be done. Also note that the rear window isn't fully mounted in the rubber, Rod said they just kind of laid it in there, you might want to see if he'll install it all the way just to make sure everything going to fit. Anyway here's the pics there's about 100 so here we go.
This is the dash with his custom dash pad on it, he had all the trim in place when I got there, but he had to take it off to show me under the pad.
Here's the inside of the passenger door, you can see what I mean about surface rust
This is a shot of the rear behind the drivers seat
Here's a shot of the rear roof looking from the passenger side.
Shot of the roof over drivers seat. Not all of that is rust, some of it is insulation. Headliner padding.
Another shot of the dash
Here's a shot of the dash under the pad, seems in really nice shape.
