Think I may have unexpectedly found my next project car... pics

[70_Fastback]

We went over to the GF's Dad's house last night; and first, I guess they have always had this car sitting there, just covered with a tarp and I never paid any attention to it. Well, Bonnie's step-mom had it uncovered last night and told me she wants to sell it. Rather cheeply too... :toot


It's a '49 Hudson. AMAZING condition, except the top and deck lid has surface rust from the damn plastic tarp, other wise it's in amazing condition. You should see the CHROME on this thing - it looks BRAND new for the most part! I looked underneath it as best I could and it looks solid as all get out. Massive "X" frame body looks clean.

I am really leaning hard towards buying it. My initial thought was to buy it and flip it, but others have spoken up and indirectly told me I'm a douche bag if I do that :hmm



Anyway, I think I am going to buy it - she has title in hand and everything.

And all I had was my cell last night for pics:

What'cha think?

Very nice car. Don't recall seeing a 2 door before.

Very cool. Does you son recognize it from the animated movie "CARS"?

You should add a horn with Paul Newman talking :rofl


If you buy it which car sits outside?

 

[Fast68back]

That one may not fit in his garage

Awesome tank. For sure buy it, drive it, and dare anyone to think about stepping in front of you.

Chopped, channeled, and frenched and you could go right back to cruisin' the 50's.

wow, that looks like a really straight and solid car.
somebody needs to give that car a little TLC and put it back on the road where it belongs.

Bigger question is...what were you doing at the GF's DAD's house? Asking him a question??

:boo

Agree 100%. If you want to stay on the good side of Bonnie's family, don't flip it! That car is primed for a near-concours restoration. Even chopping it would be a crying shame, although better than letting it rust. Please, save this car!

Typical prices from 3-4 years ago ranged from $2-6k in so-so condition; up to $30k for a very good condition Hudson.

You have not pulled the trigger yet? :wtf are you waiting for, Me to come show you how to drive it?

 

[AzPete]

I would have had a hard time going home without it from the first time seeing it.

Wait til the retard tells you the price! You'll prolly soil Mid's drawers. (if he hasn't already)

 

[AzPete]

Alright....let's here the price................we can only hate you for so long!!!!

 

[70_Fastback]

She is only asking $1500. I would hope to get a small discount though :danc

No Jeff, he didn't. Funny that Rick asked the same question.
