PHATKE20S Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Looks fairly straight there. RHF door looks a bit rotten but should scrub up ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 They arent worth much at all really, but that price would be a fait price if it has very little rust, and has a working motor. give the thing a good wash before you buy it you may be surprised what you find, good or bad.

Jono.C Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 The way i see it, If it's been sitting around for a fair while - Wheel bearings probably knackered - Bushes probably old and hard/ cracked - Brake hoses knackered Plus i bet you it's a horrific smell when you open the doors, All old toyota's end up with the same, old, dank smell haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverra23 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 that looks like a $500 crown at best. really neat good ones sell for between $2500 and $5000... so $1500 for one that needs lots of work is well over the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 It's a MS55 A Unfortuantely mate early Crowns are worth less than Corolla's in similar condition. This being the early (ugly) front style and 4 cylinder 5R motor makes it one of the most undesirable MS** Crowns ever made. You just need to take a look at eBay and check out how hard these things are to sell, even in really good condition. I personally think the MS55 B is one of the best looking cars ever made, but the A's are ugly as sin in my opinion - that front clip is just awful. My vote: Get it cheap, don't ever wash it...ever, supercharge the 5R (they're bulletproof) for the coolest rat rod in town. I'm with Adam and wouldn't pay more than $500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Actually, it's an RS50, not MS :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
