I seen this car in Pigeon Forge at the Fall Grand Rod Run. I did take some pics of it,it is a 63 Fairlane,after all. But it is very cobbled up,sloppy and the paint dosnt look good in person. I am not trying to run the car down,probably wasnt worried as much about looks as he was about going fast. But since I did see it,I just wanted to let anybody that might be intersted in it,know that they might want to look it over.

It's probably so that when the door falls off on the trailer ride home, they can honestly say - "I didn't know the door was loose!"

Most of the sales that state that, are people in the bussness of just that, sellin cars, they picked them up for far less than the reserve.

There is a guy in my town that all he does is find this stuff for low money and plants it on ebay. Thats why i call it the ebay store.

Buy it for what it's worth = good deal

Buy cause you have to have it = over priced

Have to agree with the cobble theory. And why are the rear shocks leaned sideways? Didn't do the measuring right?

Looks like it still has the stock front suspansion too, along with the "juice jar" brakes. I'm not much for the flag graphics, but the car looked like it was a clean stocker once.
It apparently didn't have a very high reserve, so if everything works and isn't broken, worn out or ruined, it could be a pretty good winter project to get it done better.
