Sounds like the rusty 1959 Skyliner all by its self could be a money pit. Another good retractable parts car with the correct needed parts could make a slam dunk affordable restoration (if you do all of the labor yourself for free). I just purchased my nice 1957 Skyliner that had $50,000 in receipts for parts and labor for what had been done on it from 1998 to 2004. The fellow fell on the California hard times and I purchased the Skyliner from him for $30,000. Don't let that upside down financing happen to you.
