Went to look at a 54 hardtop for sale locally today. The owner isn't an SDC member, hasn't lived here long, and never has registered the car. After looking it over I realized WHY he never registered the thing...although the body seems to be rock solid, EVERYTHING else was either needing a lot of attention or had been VERY poorly rigged. Looking under the car while the engine was running I noticed the flex plate and torque converter were wobbling REAL bad...no idea what that was all about but that was the least of the worries. Some people should never have kids or pets, some people should never pick up wrenches.... What does a decent one of these cars go for? JP? Here is the ad...
