Interesting Craigslist finds

Just don't buy a m8/9/10000 with rust. I was trying to make 1 out of 2 and every single allen bolt broke off in the process. Wasn't interested in spending several days removing the little bastrds so they both went to scrap.

But you can pull a 8274 that's laid a year in a pond out and rebuild it with all of it's original hardware. 2 totally different animals...
 
Ok time to tear into them. What does it take to pull the brake drum off the Belleview?

This got posted earlier this year when my friend still owned it, it was listed for $5k and $7k depending on which ad you saw.

Now its in sonoma for $$$

1957 Imperial Crown - SURVIVOR CLASS time capsule, driven just 30K miles, straight rust-free body, beautifully finished in Emerald green metallic with outstanding color coordinated factory original leather and cloth upholstery, excellent original chrome, pot metal, rubber, trim and details, 392ci HEMI engine with 325 horsepower, push-button Torqueflight transmission, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power 6-way power seat, and power antenna. RARE to find an Imperial as innocent and original as this. Space age luxury and power at its best. Drives as nice as it looks.
 
Anybody coming thru El Paso wanna grab this and drop it off here?

It's cool, but there is one too many 0's in the asking price. I want to know how fucked the frame is from the wreck first.
 
Use your brain. The sheetmetal is barely damaged. No way that accident got into the frame in any meaningful capacity.

Did you see the steering wheel? Maybe that shitbox Mexican suburban hasn't been in a wreck bad enough to bend a noodle frame 70's Ford, but that steering wheel certainly has been.

I can only assume that even Mexicans aren't so cheap to swap a bent AF steering wheel into an otherwise "good" truck.

If you understood anything about desert southwest 70's era American trucks you'd know that those fenders are substantial, and that truck took a good hit.
 
He's wanting $1000

Not that I don't agree that its been in some wrecks but I have a mostly aluminum aftermarket steering wheel similar to that one in my 77 Jimmy and I bent it hammering the dump bump in Moab and then mostly straightened it with my arms. :homer::laughing:
