    I prefer a 2 dr hardtop 57 because of the lower roofline, which is what I owned, but any shoebox wagon is cool nowdays 2 or 4 door. Great save! would hate to see her get scrapped.

    Hi Matthew! Congratulations for your `57 210 Wagon Restoration Project!
    I always love it when somebody goes to a junk/salvage yard & rescue a vintage car! :) It´s even a crime when a classic car goes to the crusher :(
    I hope it will going righ & you will get a beauty out of the restoration! (I hope my english is good enough for you that you can understand all...? Because i´m from germany & love US classic cars... at most from the 50s till the 70s & i`m still in a restoration project.. a `67 Caprice 4 Door Hardtop..where I´ve done a lot of sheet metal work. Too much to write here! ;)
    It was cool that you shown the address of the yard because I´m looking for some parts & if I can get a contact from a yard there are more possibilities for me to find the parts what i needs...Thank you! But do you know a e-Mail Address of this yard, or someone else who has parts especially for my project, please??? :)
    Is there a possibility to contact you???
    Cheers Till

    how in the world did you manage to buy a complete vehicle from Knit Towing? i tried to get four vehicles and they always told me it was against the law for them to sell a complete vehicles. anyway, i did manage to buy enough parts and pieces from them to assemble a vehicle for the drag strip.

    Good luck on that project. Without a title,how are you getting it legal? I had to cut a car up into small pieces before I could get rid of it. It was a 1974 AMC Matidor coupe. I bought it for parts. I couldnt get a certificate of abandonment because they wont do that at the State police now so I cut it up. I had to make sure it was unrecongnizeable as far as the dash area and removed the VIN number area. It was added into other vehicles as scrap. I loaded the trunk of another car I was scrapping and told them it was parts from that car even though it wasnt. It used to be much easier to get the abandondment certificates too.

    • @ChaosZero.
      @ChaosZero. 7 років тому +1

      Because not everybody is into hot rods.
      I personally think hot rods are trash, useless and a waste of money, you on the other hand might have a completely opposite opinion and consider them "better" to have/own/build/restore that actual cars.

    • @erickrichardson854
      @erickrichardson854 7 років тому +3

      The 4 doors are finally being saved and it's about time. Idiots have made them so rare by destroying them. Good job saving it

    • @Shane-Singleton
      @Shane-Singleton 7 років тому +2

      And thankfully for now, at least, 4-doors can still be had on the cheap because people still have their heads up their asses with the "too many doors" mentality. I saved a 4-door 57 wagon (original V8 BelAir car) a few months ago. The car is complete with all its original trim, sheet metal, a complete yet not original drivetrain, interior, etc and I paid less for it than i've seen some 2 door sadans that were nothing but a frame, cab, and rear fenders sitting in the mud.

    • @erickrichardson854
      @erickrichardson854 7 років тому +4

      Shane Singleton absolutly true. People who junk 4 doors should never be allowed to own a real car. I save 4 doors also
