Everyone has different standards for their cars. Some only want a daily driver, not a trailer queen. I applaud those who take cars that are "too far gone" and revive them. I'm sure most people would have only bought my car for a parts car because of the rust in the floors and various other places. I'll fix the floors and the body to the best of my abilities and learn in the process. If you are looking for a quick fix or something that doesn't need a lot of work, just keep looking or pay more money for better examples. For me, as well as others, the joy of fixing, learning and experiencing these classics, even in poorer condition gives them value.

That Buick that Al referenced, looks like something I would drive around as is! I got plenty of thumbs up in my Packard (when it was moving) in it's rough shape. Can't wait until it has some paint on it!
