Definitely needs some help!

Had a blower?
Nice ride
Looks like spent some time in the desert ?
deep fried dash pad!
Anyone else notice the lever by drivers seat/trans tunnel? I'm guessing it possibly for a hone-o-drive?
Yea i caught that lever too.
Let me Guess, Dennis Collins already swooped in on the missing Paxton??
"15% buyers commission and almost seems like you are agreeing to them doing the shipping- maybe just their generic wording."
I had someone look at it and confirm. 15% is the fee and must be gone within 7 days because they don't have the space to store (do lots of regular auctions and need the space).
Here is what I was told for the good, lots of original body and mechanical parts and they are adding better rims/tires to make it a roller (removing the flats on wagon wheels). For the bad much of the exterior panels are damaged from rust and the interior from heat. Dr fender has rust/hole at the bottom and door has rust coming from the inside through the outside. Both quarters have rust in the inner wheel well bottom areas but the drivers side is worse. The pass side door also has rust coming through the door in the corner. Pass front fender not bad. The engine compartment aprons have been patched on the top he said it looked like Bondo, radiator support was cut ("hacked"). At least one inner frame rail has a tear. For the interior the wheel and gauges looked real, a good section of the wood on the back was missing from the wheel, the seats were bad but maybe the special comfort weave centers could be saved. Was told its sun baked but actually pretty complete and "cool to look at". I just figured I'd share but don't assume what I conveyed is correct- it was secondhand info and I'm no expert!
I was in AZ last week so went to EJ's and took a look at this car. Was told it sat outside since 1985, and it looks it! She's CRISPY. Has a Paxton bracket and an whoever put the blower on took an air chisel and basically destroyed the core support. Yes, Hone-o-Drive is there, and kinky spring loaded traction bars. Headers. All wheel lips are aggressively rolled. Lots of rust in left rear quarter and trunk drop, right quarter is pretty gone as well. Bondo cracking off of both aprons in engine compartment where it was covering rust. Must have lived in NY for a while before coming to AZ. Body hammered with dents. No VIN on block. All fiberglass is basically cooked and delaminating. Steering wheel wood is absent or beyond saving. No keys. Etc etc. I bet this thing was crazy cool when it had a blower and was being driven HARD. If only it could talk! EJ's did not give me a warm and fuzzy, seems like they might not be completely above board. Took an act of congress to even be able to get close to the car. Was shocked at the current bid given the buyer's premium and the state of the car but never underestimate starry-eyed optimism!
Edit- just went to the site and see they added a set of 10 spokes and new tires to roll her outside. It was previously sitting on 4 mis-matched wheels with exploded tires. Oh, and the brake booster/ master/ other stuff is MIA though I see they opened the trap door and the manifolds are in the trunk so that's good. $55k+ the vig with a lot of time to go! Will be interesting to watch.
unique location for right side rear view mirror
I like the car but have a feeling even if the price doesn't get overly crazy the bidder's premium is going to put a nail in the coffin. I'd also feel better if this was a large Mecum type auction and not a strip mall auction that sells baseball cards one week and then things like this. Regardless of the fee's and short storage time limit, it's really the transfer of title and right paperwork required for some states that makes buying something for a lot of money from a place like this scary. BJ, Mecum, etc. have their faults but for the most part seem to do due diligence on paperwork and transfer things in good order. I'm sure there are a few but overall, not many states will take a vintage title not in the seller's name to register it. Maybe a good car for a person in AZ to buy- maybe less issues that way.
Auction ends tomorrow. Currently bid to $68,500 plus fees/tax. Will be interesting to see where it ends up.

Very cool car, especially with that rare Hone o Drive rear end. Obviously you saw the opportunity and have the passion to bring this car back to it's previous glory.

Just bought it for the body, we do EV conversions and a nice patina car doesn't come up often.
Had not heard of the 2 spd hone o drive till after the purchase,may have to rethink plans

I liked the car- would have loved to just do the basics and just drive it not touching the body but bidding got too high for my wallet. I also just had a hard time getting reliable info from the auction house. I asked about the mileage, and they seemed to have no clue other than what was said on the title "c-not the actual mileage". Bring it to a convention as is- would be great to see in person. It will be a great car left as is or restored- congratulations!
