Wow.  That's almost pre-war sheetmetal there.  Please don't tell me your project involves cutting them apart.

Ugly (my opinion) florescent/neon street rod Fleetlines sell for around $25k.  I don't know what restored bodies would fetch.

Probably more.

Sorry, no idea what the numbers mean.

its ok but saddly the ford is long gone i found the plate on a chunk of rusty sheetmetal that was under a 58 ford the only other clue i found was a 1962 minnesota licence plate
as for the fleetline it was used for target practice burned and thrown into the woods on a steep hill im assuming in the 60s or 70s the sad part is that that one was a real 2dr that had all the sheetmetal other than the bumper but like i said it was shot at and burned and the doors were dented itn along with the twisted hood im making a deal with the guy to clean off his farm so far for $60 this is what im getting
1969 chevelle malibu
1955 bel air 2dr
1957 chevy pick uo cab and front end
1956 oldsmobile super 88 4dr
1956 ford convertible
1958 ford fairlane
saddly they are all way beyond repairing and to get most of them out would requre cutting down a large tree and opening an electric fence they are mostly laying on thwer roofs so not even good shells other than the chevelle the newest licence plate we found was from 1970
does n e one think im crazy for buyin all of this other then bragging rights i have the knowlege that as long as i own them they will NEVER be crushed also i can leave them there for as long as i need to which is good for a 16 yr old that lives in  the city
