This is NOT about a 59 Plymouth. So why am I posting the picture here? Because I consider you guys my friends, and I value your opinion of this car...is it worth $2500? Has V-8, A/T, PS but no P/B, gas tank out (rusted- leaking), "some" rust in rockers and quarters, upholstery shot, interior "chrome" pitted due to water penetration. I have yet to determine if the car even runs! Reports say no holes in trunk or floors..

Roger,
This is a delicate question. We give an evaluation, but you have to put the money down. It all depends on how much the car worth to YOU. For 2.500$ for at least the dashboard, cluster and gauges should be ok and if the engine isn’t running, for at least it should turn freely, otherwise the price is too high. Considering the car (Windsor and not a letter car) and the parts missing or cracked I would pay something between 1500$ and 2000$ Well that’s my opinion about it, but it’s up to you!

Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. As with many cars, this one interests me, but needs quite a lot. It does run, but the seller is brief in his descriptions, so I dont know if it runs WELL. The brakes are bad, the interior is shot, including the pitted interior chrome, which is very tiresome to replace.
The gas tank has been removed for repair..
I guess I'd give $1500 for it, and then it would just sit around my house anyway. I thought about buying it and then putting it on Ebay, to see if I could make a profit, but that too seems to be a hassle.

'58 Windsor
Roger, I sent you an email too but if you decide not to buy it I would really appreciate the vendors details etc as my friend would seriously like to buy a '58 Windsor Coupe, or we could even do a deal through you so that you don't lose out.
