toad has new home

[barbee6043]

drug home this 62 lancer 170 post car, 3 on tree, plenty rough but all there except radiator. original bill of sale shows it costs like $1700 something new! the young guys can't quite picture what a dollar bough t back then!! I hardly can either! worked after school and sat at grocery, if I remember right the wage was $1.30/ hr. LOL but hey, gas was $.29!!!
enclosed are a few pics for those that always want to see.....
I have NO experience with the road toads so I will have to find some members good enough to share some of their knowledge!!!!

Looks like it's in good shape! I hope the floors and frame rails are as solid as the rest. Keep us updated.

two doors and a third pedal ....sounds win/ win to me.

Going to look real nice parked next to your wagon once we can finally get it home too.

I saw that one for sale but wasn't quite ready, gotta get rid of the one in the garage first. Lancer post car is what I will be looking for, hopefully soon.

i've always passed on anything with rusty frame rails. rear ones are rusted out on bottom. my buddy with a mopar bone yard has a 65 cuda out of new mexico with perfect ones. appears to be same, but that is one of the many questions I will have for "toad" experts. its has usual floors rust, some one started to attemp some outside patches. I rather pay more for a better body, but I have to do my own body work and it was cheap. ( i'm cheap too! LOL)
now.... if I only have a '62 b body with a maxie to go with it!!! hahahahahaha yea, right! LOL
