If the car is cosmetically good. Good paint, good dash, good seats, that work, it might be worth a grand. The engine plus that means you will have 5-6k in the car. With no other problems (I have never seen a disassembled car that had a bad tranny or A/C [bg])its one he** of a piece of transportation.

If you can do the work yourself, oportunities to cash in a little labor are hard to find. Many a folk would like to be able to find a long term vehicle as simple and useful as those cars were.

If you aren't going to do the work, forget it. Too many risks!!
