Automatic transmission from 1901 huh
Coil spring from 1901 too
I see these types of posts on Craigslist all the time. “1959 Cadillac. Perfect candidate for restoration. $2,500 firm.”
And it’s like, uh, no. I’m positive that at one time that WAS a 1959 Cadillac. But, the floor pan is completely rotted out. The engine consists solely of the block. The rest of the drive trane and hood are gone. And the rest of the car looks like someone heard One Piece at a Time on the radio and thought it was a repair manual.
At best you’ve got $500 worth of scrap metal and that’s if YOU load it on a flat bed and haul it to the junk yard yourself.
At that point, you’re just buying a vin number for a pre-obd2 car. Which can be useful for street legal dune buggies or whatever.
