Found 1953 m35 cheap should I buy?

[Spinney Bent]

Hi All, I just found a 1953 m35 gasser that needs only a clutch in my neck of the woods. I am a fabricator/mechanic/car biulder and in my opinion this rig is in pretty damn good condition needing some minor body work and some tires. I think I can score this thing for around $1000 or so. This is a score am I right? I just wanted to ask the pros before I do anything. All input welcome. Thanks for your help.

Look at it this way....a quality hooker would cost twice as much and wouldn't last nearly as long.
Buy the old girl and give her a good home...chit you can sell the axles for more than a grand.
With the mods you can do and the knowlege available on this site you can't go wrong.

Am I the only one one who thinks pass? $1000 is a little steep.

Wrong kind of hooker. Back before I got my 5 tons I was looking for a gas duece and couldn't find one. That's actually why I got the 5 tons. Buy her!

It depends on if the original poster really wants a gasser or not. A gasser is too rare to buy just for the axles. If all it really needs is a clutch, it might be worth it but I don't think it is a big bargain. If it needs a bunch of other stuff it is too high.

A lot of guys on here thought I was goofy for paying $3000 for mine, but the body is excellent. tires very good, cab & cargo seats are nice.
A big plus for a guy like me with limited time, was that it was only 20 miles away.
If it's reasonably close to home, I'd buy it.

Yeah!-- where is Sagle? I live 100 north of Boise and have a '57 Utica-Bend Gasser.It was to be the beginings of a Bob project but After I got it home I felt it was way too rare and too good shape to change. (See avitar) I may be interested in selling--hate to but maybe it,s time to let it go and move on to another project.

From private party, sounds good to me.

 

[tm america]

sounds like a good deal to mei'd jump on it .i would love to add a gasser to my collection they sound strong

I'd buy it in a second. 1K for a rust free gasser is cheap.
