As long as the car has been towed properly and the owner has kept up on the chassis, there is nothing wrong with the old cars and for the price, would be a good deal to throw some suspension on the rear. What really makes these cars hard to sell is the small cages. Most buyers want (or think they need) 23 inch cages or bigger. That is all good if you are a bigger individual but small guys in big cages are not the best combo for safety.
Shawn,
After another Look,they are there!Just LOW.You are 101% Correct about the Cage,had a Guy Locally have a New Car built for His daughter,17" w Cage.I Told him,He was Making a Terrible MISTAKE.........!But,wouldnt listen?Now shes married w/Children,and Hes got about 11,G's in a Non Sellable Chassis.My 1st Altered was 19"Hoop,which is Fine.But,when your 275 its makes things REAL CLOSE!!!!!!!!!
