Nice, but a couple things bother me about it. First of all, I'd lose those stupid wheel skirts. Second, the tires don't look right. They look more appropriate to say a big mid-70s to early '80s car, not a 1950s car. The leather/vinyl portion in the middle of the front seat looks like it might be slightly dry-rotted.

I agree too. Andre is a walking talking Chrysler encyclopedia.
 
If the Internet ever shuts down, and all Chrysler history books get lost, auto historians will flock to Andre to tap onto his wealth of knowledge about Chrysler.
 
Andre, I bet you have a ton of automotive books at home.

Andre, didn't Chrysler use DeSoto to test and introduce new technolgy and features like GM did with Olds?

very close to me, and the price is certainly right... so far.

Hmmm....I dunno, unless you do your own work and do some serious scrounging---if you take it in to have alternator, exhaust system, new AC compressor, etc., you're going to put an easy $1500 into it and the car isn't worth much more than that. Maybe $3250 all shined up and running nice?

That is a funny ad. It starts out describing what great condition the car is in, then the further you read, the worse it gets. Exhaust system, alternator, compressor, audio, etc.
 
If he had started with that, he wouldn't have needed to explain why it was listed as a "parts car". It needs a lot of parts!

Yeah I'm thinkin' that the current bid is really all one should offer for it.

Oh, you know me. No "taking it in." AC not necessary, especially if I'm using it strictly for autoX. So alternator and exhaust and my own blood and sweat? Maybe $500. And, yeah, the current bid is close to right. No more than $1k for that car, methinks.
 
I could also toss a coin between that Z and this Supra. BUTTT... I think I lean towards the Z. The Supra is in nicer shape, and has 40 more hp, but it is also a whopping 500 lbs heavier, according to wiki.
