I initially wanted to say "Ooooh! Gasser material! Big block with a tunnel ram.... oh yeah!" But that front end is pretty bugly.

Hatch , 

Calling Hatch , cleanup on aisle 5 !

If no pandemic I would be sending Stampie after it.  Covid is repeatedly saving me from myself

You're assuming I wouldn't grab it for myself.  Actually this one has been up for a while.  I remember that same picture from when the MG was listed also.

I want a Crosley mostly so i can name it Mrs Crosley, and then tell my buddy Matt Crosley how much I love spending time inside Mrs Crosley

In reply to Patrick (Forum Supporter) :

I'll let you borrow it then you could say that Mrs. Crosley is getting around.

There's a very nicely done Crosley wagon here  in SE Michigan. I saw it at Autorama a few years ago. It's Harley powered.......

Those pics on the trailer with the MG do a good job highlighting how horribly disproportionate these cars are and just how butt ugly they are. Yuck.

Says the Vibe owner.

Looks pretty cool to me.

In reply to Stampie (FS) :

Ah, still right ugly. I'd drive it in a heartbeat, but I'm kinda odd...

Wonder how  much Legend or Mini Sprints looking for a body are?

The Crossley is a small car, but look at the MG Midget.

Hard to believe I used to HWY drive one as a DD back in the 70s

Looks like Jimmy Durante's nose. 
 

Just needs a 2 inch chop and a 4 inch channel and it'll be all good.

...engine rolls over

But does it beg?

We went and looked at this today.  The awkward lines don't look so awkward in person. The rust is a little bad. The floors, rockers, and bottom of the doors need major repairs. He does have a rolling chassis he said he'd throw in for an extra $100.  I might try and get it because of Challenge factory frame rails unlimited body rule.

He's definitely a car guy. Probably 20 cool vehicles around the property. At one point we walk under a carport and he fires up a 350 Chevy and 289 Ford on engine stands with open headers. My pants got tight.

In reply to Stampie (FS) :

So, where's the build thread already?

What other cool stuff did he have?

In reply to Indy "Nub" Guy :

Still pondering.

In reply to Mr_Asa :

1st Gen Bronco, 3rd Gen Nova, GMT400 with a build 350, MGB, Didn't see an FC but he implied that he had one.  He showed us the factory FC twin turbos.  Said he just sold a turbo Miata to a kid that blew the engine.  All around GRM material.

That's a good collection there.

In reply to Mr_Asa :

The Nova, GMT400, MGB, and Crosley were in one out building of maybe 10.  I'm guessing we saw about 1/4 of his collection.

A real damn good collection, then

Stretch the wheelbase. 

Well I tried to buy it but we're $150 apart and both at our current max/min.
