View attachment 1715400009 View attachment 1715400010 i bought the car sight unseen from a guy with some high end, rare, nut and bolt restored Mopars. He seemed like a real straight up guy.
I was just after a solid cruiser. No structural issues, so to speak. Didn’t care if it was a 20 footer, as long as it was solid.
I was assured it was, he sent pics and videos ect.
I had the car delivered and just got a chance to dig into it a bit.
I was about to do the front brakes and cruise it around this weekend.
Sigh...
The A arm mounting “tabs” are junk. The front one on the driver side is actually rotted and separate from the frame rail.
The rail doesn’t look all that great in that area as well.
The passenger side is similar.
The rest of the car is “fair” to decent for what it is.
If it was a local buy, I’d have had my money back by now.
But due to distance and transport costs, I own it.
I’m not looking at any legal action or anything like that. It was a 6000 dollar car.
But it’s not a driver. It’s not sound. And I believe it would be a big$$ repair. I can stick metal together, but I can’t weld. Nor could I get the proper geometry.
Sell it? I’m brutally honest when I sell things. With the 340 that I’ve been sitting on, try and recoup and move on or??
Sorry for the rant.
I was really excited and my balloon just burst.
Been doing the family thing with no Mopar for far too long now.
What say you?
