I followed up on a Craigslist ad for '61 Magnette a few miles away. The guy's dad had passed away and left the family with a large group of really nice American cars. Everything was either well restored or in need of TOTAL restoration. He had lots of Edsels, including a very cool ambulance, he had various '50s Fords and much more.
Everything will be sold eventually but he is trying to clear the low-$ stuff first. He needs to free up space but he wants them to go to good homes.
The Magnette was pretty rough, needing almost everything but could be had for $500 or less. It does turn over and probably runs. (My camera is tavelling right now so the only pictures are on the seller's 3.5" floppy which I can't read at home.) There were also a Ford Consul and Zodiac. The Consul was pretty good. Needs hydrolics, rubber and paint to be a driver. The Zodiac needs some body work and lots of re-chroming. All 3 cars are California cars and have non-op registration.
The only other small car was was Fiat convertable that would have almost fit into the hatch of an MGB-GT! Dang, it was small! It was in excellent condition and would have been a blast to drive! (I didn't ask the price because I don't need another 'vert(and I didn't want to be tempted to become bug splatter on some SUV's windscreen).
I'm toying with taking the Consul but I shouldn't. If anyone out there is interested in rescuing one of these cars, I can hook you up with the seller. Just send me a PM.
