Everything but the chevy part of it is neato.

[DerekTheGreat]

Yeah, it's akin to seeing a '32 Ford or whatever with a tree-fiddy in it. Like "Oh boy, yet another one." You can sort out the oil pan woes...

Dang, the ad is gone. What was it?

[1985crownvicltd85]

It was a beige 1985 Crown Vic 4 door that is sitting on a 2008 crown vic frame. Ls swapped and he replaced the ford emblems with the chevy bowtie.

That ad is all you!

[Mr Bean]

That's a hella deal.

The silver and black one looks like the only driver... the sedan looks like it may rot in half soon if not over the next speed bump and the woody is either holding all the parts or has no rear suspension left.

Not sure I agree with that assessment sly. The sedan looks straight to my eyes but does seem oddly weatherbeaten as I think single stage paint was gone from these by that year.

The woody is on flat tires and that's about how my wagon sits with 100lbs or so behind the axle, if we account for the lack of tire sidewall. I believe that car is a storage shed for plane parts currently.

I am willing to assist an out-of-region and extremely realistically interested potential buyer by being your eyes, maybe do a Skype call or whatever looking at the cars. I've had previous contact with the seller at a car show and he told me he had these (months ago), but I lost his info so never got in touch. Plus I really don't need more.

Steel side wagon shows "SOLD". WagonMan

[kishy]

It has not sold, he keeps fighting with Facebook auto-marking it sold. And it is one listing including the 3 vehicles together.

He's feeling out all the people contacting him (25 in the first few hours of the posting apparently) and rejecting everyone with any type of ties to the demo derby world, so that's kinda cool. I've helped him with a few names to avoid. His asking price is pretty much spot on the nose exactly what derby people are happy to pay currently and if they're solid underneath as he claims, they'll go fast if he doesn't care who buys em.

On the sedan, I was looking at the rocker rot. It may be the dithering of the picture, but the rocker looks pretty bad. I was figuring on the woody being a shed currently.

That is the car previously, briefly owned by a friend of mine. I've seen it in person and it's a clean but not perfect car (I believe the fender arches are iffy under the aluminum). My friend bought it for $2400 or thereabouts, he sold it for $2800. As best I can tell he just didn't have the time to dedicate to one of these, as most of them need a fair bit of love when they move on to a new owner. There was nothing significantly wrong with the car. The odometer gears were toast, I don't recall if my friend rebuilt them or sold it before doing so. I had coached him on the needed parts and repair steps.

The new owner (who is the current seller) seems to have bought it strictly to flip it, it was listed all over the place for mid 4ks, then 4k, and evidently now 2900.

There is zero demand for these things locally, other than the derby crowd and me. I have a bunch of friends (the one who briefly owned this one) who want, but either cannot afford, don't have adequate room, or don't want to jump headfirst into the world of old car problems. With the way scrap is currently, if it comes under 2k, the derby guys will take it.
