Got a free rusty 1967 simca

I hope the rust pictures make it look horrible because right now i feel like coming to PA to get it and I don’t need any more quirky cars nobody has heard of

It photographs well in the first posts. However, you overpaid at free judging by the last posts.

For some reason it only shows one photo per post. There’s more rust pics but you get the idea. It’s all structural. 

In reply to Sonic : I tried sending you a message but it came back undelivered. I actually have a birdsboro mailing address but live in Robeson Twp. About a 1.5 from the turkey hill at rt724 and Gibraltar rd on rt568. 

I now agree with you, yard art or cut it up.  

Trust me I’m all for saving old cars which is why I’ve been dragging my 4dr 1962 Mercury Monterey around with me for 10 years that I saved from the scrap yard. But this one is way past the time and money for most people. 

C'mon, that looks like it's an easy 10,000 hours and dollars from being a $3,000 car!

First picture, I thought it was an NSU

That battery looks bigger than the engine. 

In reply to rattfink81 :

Well you're right nearby then, we are in Birdsboro boro, up the hill from the fire department, across the street from the Brooke mansion.

Not sure why it bounced, someone else today sent me a message through the forum link, but my email is abbottcd at the gmails  

This would make a fantastic body swap candidate for a Lemons team.

Kid included or is that extra?

I love everyone’s enthusiasm for him restoring or hot ridding his free Simca; all I read was free rusty simca and I laughed because the free rusty simca I got ten years ago because “I want it to go to a good home” was laughably bad. There were no door jambs! The doors opened and shut but there was nothing between the fender and door seal but a tenuous rust isthmus with the door stricter that fell out the third time I shut the door. 

I like your plan!

Looks like a job for Bad Obsession but I doubt replacement sheet metal is available...

Ah, yeah, nah... it really is as bad as you said.

Shame that mother nature reclaimed another.

Did they make the body out of caulk?
