My issue is with there parts houses that use ebay to sell and put a $1995 price on a parts car. Consider the 1950 Traveller our member recently purchased off an ebay auction from Albuquerque NM. A near perfect low mileage desirable Traveller that sold for $1500 or so. Why would anyone buy a whole car for $2000, extend another several hundred to go get it for the parts they need?
I contacted an ebayer about their 1950 Kaiser they have on continuous ebay loop for $1700 and said I would buy the grille and he responded no, whole car only. OK, then keep running it for years then because no one that I know is going to fork over $1700 and another $1000 to go get a 50 slabside.
