I recently moved to Florida from Ohio and was hoping to find a clean frame once here. My ‘69 is from Akron and the original frame was in rough shape 25 years ago when we restored the car. We patched a few areas on the frame but it’s just not a good piece. I lucked out yesterday. Found a clean frame about 45 minutes from me and picked it up. Quick history is that the guy who I got the frame from...his parents bought the car brand new in 1971. The car spent its entire life in Florida so everything is super solid on it. There’s actually factory blue paint still present. Theres actually a piece of excess welding wire still attached in one of the corners. This is definitely like nothing you’d find in Ohio. There’s only two areas of concern but likely an easy fix. The rear crossmember is a little tweaked. Regardless, I’m still floored by me only paying $200!!! I’m looking at the HPI boxing kit already.
A few years back my brother in law sold a 70 Cutlass S Convertible Frame, very clean, on Craigs List for Best Offer. (Boston).
The 2nd day listed a buyer called, showed up the next day with a trailer and $900 cash and away it went.
