    Ft. Worth TX car lot full of old complete classics: 1963 (?) Electra 225 4dr HT

    I was on business earlier today and found a car lot full of 50’s, 60’s & 70’s cars and am posting some pics and other info. The lot (&cars) are owned by an adjacent aftermarket auto parts business. The business is in northeast Fort Worth, Texas area and a contact there is John (817-838-3200). I do not know him and only happened upon these cars while checking Craigs List on business. My gut tells me that the prices are negotiable. The story goes that the owner of the business next door bought an entire lot of old cars from a rancher about 30 or so miles outside of town where these cars had been sitting in a field for years (& years). He told me that he brought some of the cars (on the lot) in to town to display and advertise for sale and that the 50 or so cars on the lot now represent about half the total cars as he needs more space to bring additional cars in. On the lot, I found:
    1. 1972 Skylark 2dr HT $2800 (complete, Heritage green, complete interior & 350-2/350 drivetrain), see pics in prior thread;
    2. 1963 Skylark 2dr HT, see pics in prior thread;
    3. 1960 Le Sabre 2dr HT (red & white, drive train present, radiator gone, interior seats changed, clean trunk, but rust in interior floor board), see pics in prior thread;
    4. 1963 (?) Electra 225 4dr HT $1275 (cornering lamps, complete interior), see pics in this thread;
    5. 1964 (?) Olds 98 4dr HT, unk price, see pics in subsequent thread;
    6. 1961 Bonneville 4dr HT $2100 (8 lug wheels, complete interior), see pics in subsequent thread;
    7. 1955 Pontiac Safari wagon, see pic in subsequent thread.

    I cannot post all the pictures in one thread, so I will post pics in separate threads for individual cars following this lead thread … I guess.

    Note that the ad on Craigs List is below with some descriptions of various cars and further states that the guy wants to sell complete cars, not part out the vehicles.

    The ad copied ver batim:

    I thought it over, and if that Electra is titled, I might try to take a pass at it.
