  New to forum and considering buying an unrestored 40sedan.
The fellow had intentions of restoring it but lost interest (28yrs ago) he also can't remember where all parts are.
My question is; is it worth buying and bringing it back to the road ?
Are parts and glass still available.

  I can tell you from extensive personal experience that this particular car is not worth much at all. It is a parts car.
To just get this car on the road under its own power will likely cost you way more than simply buying a nice driving tudor.
For around $20k, you can find an extremely nice sedan. Yes, many will be asking much more but they won't be selling at higher asking prices.
Lots of guys have not kept abreast of current markets and / or don't want to accept the reality.

  That's what I needed to hear!
Based on your answer the seller wants what he paid for it 28yrs ago.
$2000.00
Can you make that money back and then some?or is it best to leave that dog lay.
Respect your input.
Thank you
