Anybody want to save an LV?

Listed on craigslist in the VT section, but the ad says it's in Kingston, NY and frame is okay with a complete drivetrain. Someone needs this, right?

It's gotta be buried in snow right now !!! OOPS ! just looked a a map. That's not far at allfrom here.

Wow that looks like its in rough shape. I doubt that he will see $700 for it.

I emailed the seller for some up close pics. Wish I could save it, but the distance I'd have to get it shipped + no covered storage, It'd still be rusting away before I could get to fixin it up. Hey isn't Foxfab up in that area?

 

[brider]

Yeah, I just saw that on craigslist. What a shame! I wonder how long that rascal has been sitting there?

 

[foxfab]

Ya,if you get those pics, forward em to me. I might be interested in going to save her if its worth the effort.

 

[LC_Hamma]

Only other pic he sent me:

It's in pretty bad shape but for the right person it can could generate enough "hard to find" parts to serve as a donor another project. You would have to see it in person to see what exactly is left.

get the hubcaps!!!

Are there any 45 specific parts on there that you guys need? I'm on the fence, at scrap value + like Fox said, there isn't hardly enough on there to make it worthwhile for me.

My main interest is the frame (marginal), steering wheel, hubcaps, hood ornament and any original engine bits, so all the 45 stuff would be up for grabs.

Jim I would be interested in the heater vent and the duct work and blower motor attached to it.

Spoke to the owner, he's confident he can get more than his asking price by parting it out and scrapping the hulk. He's familiar with doing that, so don't expect giveaways. Nothing wrong with that. So the only way he'll let it go whole, is near his price. Sounds like he's going to part it, unless someone steps up for the whole thing, keep an eye out.

 

[fjwagon]

Ask him if he could to post pics here of the good stuff first if decides to part it out..

 

[rangly]

does anyone know if this is till avalible ????????

 

[Kief]

OUCH...

Amazing how many of these seem to surface.

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

It might be, but the last time I got an e-mail from him he noted that I should look at ebay soon. Drop him an e-mail.
