Found this 2 days ago on Fort Hood's "Lemon Lot", where people can place their cars for sale. There was no info sheet, contact info, or asking price listed anywhere and the car was left unsecure. I snapped these photo's and plan to go back daily till someone places the contact info back on the car. What does everyone think it's worth? I would love to make an offer and save this car froim the crusher!
 
Thats awesome. It looks like my 1967 Valiant. Mines a 100 not a Signet and a 2 door not a 4 door. Mine is even originally red but had red guts. /6 automatic. It even almost has the same trailer hitch as that one. I got mine for $300. I would offer the owner $400-$600 for it. What ever you do, save it from rotting or going to the crusher. Hears mine http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=112815 :hello1:
 
Assuming it's as solid underneath as what we can see, you'd be stealing it for anything under a grand, IMO- especially if it runs & drives. Here in New England, I'd be comfortable paying 2 for an A-body in that kind of shape.
 
too bad its a 4 door that dash is gorgeous cool car but it sure does look plainnnnnnnnnn
 
I'm not sure why it has no contact information. That is very unusual on a military installation. I will return saturday and look at the name on the paperwork in the dash, and then I have access to a military "white pages" search in my military account and see if I can locate the owner. However if it belongs to a civilian contractor or someone non-military working on the post, I may not be able to contact them.
The car has 165X75-13 tires, (small) and the underside looks pretty solid other than the exhaust system. The radiator had no fluid visable at the top of the radiator and the dip stick was to the full mark but was black as coal. The interior was really good. Only real issue was a rip along the top of the back seat. Otherwise the headliner, front seat, arm rests, etc looked very good. I could see myself driving this around just as is but with better tires and a new paint job. Would have to loose that hitch though! But of course the price has to be right, which in my case isn't too high. The wife probably wont be to thrilled since we already have 4 trucks and 1 car out front right now and a 73 4-door Dart in our storage slot. However I still have plenty of room in the stroage slot for one more car, hmmmmmmm. By the way, tags are from Oklahoma and are up to date.
 
Just put your name and phone # on paper and post SOLD on out side he well call you!!
Put inside all over and on dash use about 6ea and wait .
 
Just out of curiosity.....is there any numbers stamped in the right front inner guard (fenderwell)????...if so, what do they say???
Here in Oz...it would be something like VF4-2-1234
the -2- means manual trans or if it said -4-, would be auto.
VF is model designation, 4 is a engine/carby/trans package designation, and 1234 is just a made up build number.
 
I agree that $750 is a good price for a runner in this apparent condition. A 4-door makes a great daily driver. (But them I'm biased.)
 
It looks good enough to persue, i would offer $500 and see where that goes.....
If it isn't a driver, you can still get your money out of it.
 
im sure it belongs to a 80 yearold women that forgott where she parked HAHAHAHAHAA

Yes, it would be a daily driver of sorts. I went back there today and found the actual title in the glove box. It looks as if the owner in Oklahoma signed and dated it back in 2008, and the new owners never transferred the car. I have his contact info and am saving it for the time being.
Otherwise I worked on the interior of my 72 D100 today. Look for those pictures Sunday night on my thread for that truck on this forum.
