Heck, if the care is a true Arizona car, you should have a lot to start with. I'd expect to see a pretty solid body and sheet metal. Even if the interior is shot, you would have patterns to use for re-doing it.   In my mind, it's a gorgeous car.

As far as engine and transmission goes, there are engines to be had, as well as transmissions. It'ain't like looking for a Duesenberg engine!!

Before I ever got my first vintage car, I wanted either a '39 or '40 Cadillac or LaSalle coupe. It developed that there were several possibilities to mfulfill that desire. I finally DID (do) have a '39 Cadillac coupe, but it's a '39-90 5 pass coupe.

If this car you tell of is as solid as one might expect, and if the price is bearable, I'd go for it. i

That is why a lot of cars end up at the tip.

The owner believes it is worth a fortune, then when the Estate passes to the relatives, they just want to get rid of the "worthless piece of junk" (in their eyes) and it either goes for a song, or scrapped, just to get it out of the way.
