"Perfect Restoration Candidate"

RL Chilton

I found a Perfect restoration candidate - $3250 in Graham, WA if anyone is interested in picking up a project!

Check it out at...



This was a post by Sarah Young on another thread, but thought it would be a good start for a new one:



I know what my definition of a "perfect restoration candidate" would be, but am interested in y'all's definition. So, tell me, what is the "PRC" exactly to some of you?

Must have been parked in the same evrionment as the '54 Jet convertable. The inside looks like a petrie dish!

That '52 is bad and sad. I wasn't particularly asking the question with this car in mind. I meant in more general or generic terms, of course.

A "Perfect" restoration candiate for me would be something that needed little to no cosmetic work, had original paint with "patina" and you could do a sympathetic restoration on and drive it. (Much like Leno did with the "Garage Deusenberg" - they rebuilt the engine and made sure the running gear was solid but left the paint and interior...)

I was being sarcastic when I labeled the '52 Hornet as a PRC. (Note the cheesy grin in original post.) Perfect cars don't need skin replacement and donor transplants to keep them from flatlining and can be labled as a restoration and not a resurrection, LOL.



However, in ANY potential project, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Regardless of how poor the condition of a vehicle is, if you've got a vision and the means to get it there...
