$50 best bad idea I've had

What could go wrong?

Uh Oh

Nothing. It's worth more than that in scrap.

I only see $50 worth of awesome

And after your third ignition cassette that doesn't work right out of the box, you put it on your lawn with a sign that says "I give you $50 to take it away"

DO IT!!! (so I don't have it sitting in my yard)

That's $1,965.00 to spend for the Challenge.

My cousin has one, it's pretty wicked. Lots of hopup potential there and they are just nice cars.

Are you sure it's not $100

I read somewhere you can disassemble the cassettes and just replace the coils..

I honestly don't see how you can't buy that. I've spent more on lunch meat.

And I do believe a theme has just been selected. How hard would it be to make it look like a Wienermobile?

Can't you get plywood any cheaper at Lowes?

Does it run? If no, still a good deal. If yes, get it, turn the key, floor the gas pedal, and never lift until it's bent in a "U" shape. Then scrap and enjoy the memories.

depending on the state, title replacement can be fairly easy … or it's LeChump time and title doesn't matter

So absolutely yes on the price, a big no on the pedobear style for sale sign.

Where's the build thread?

I've spent twice that on a tank of gas. Buy it now.

That would buy me a third of one headlight. You get TWO headlights, and an entire car to boot.

The top half is $50. So is the bottom half. You could probably a la carte it, or maybe offer the guy $75 for both halves and see if he takes it.

It will be fun. Post up when you are ready, there are a few cheap easy things to do to wake that thing up.

Even the sign says you've got a 50/50 chance of it running.

I like those odds!

Maybe there is a dead body stuffed in the rear hatch. Or maybe the car was stolen and left right where it now sits and the guy who owns the property put the mysterious twin $50 sign out there hoping someone would be silly enough to take it away for him because he grows a lot of pot in his barn back there and doesn't want the cops nosing around the farm. Other than that, I see nothing that could go wrong.
