If this is the D in Caladonia, Missouri (and it looks like it from 
the pics) walk away from it! Unless you can get them down to $4000-
5000 or better yet less, its going to suck a lot of money out of you.

We looked at this car this summer because of some tip we got at a car 
show. Since we like project cars we took a ride out to see it. Very 
disappointing.

Our project D (the Yellow one many saw in Memphis)was found with many 
of the same problems as the one you are looking at but it would at 
least run and the body was straight. We bought ours for less than 
$5000 but have invested at least $10,000 in parts and a ton of labor 
that nobody will pay me for. If it wont start there are all kinds of 
things you cant check.

Bottom line, be patient, your deal will come around.

I could also tell you of another D here in St Louis that has a blown 
engine, destroyed interior, every body panel dented, and just a basic 
mess. But you know what, the owner wont budge off the $10,000 price 
he wants. Crazy!
