Is this car worthy of a restoration or does it go straight to the scrapyard?

That car is not in “bad” shape. It’s pretty solid for how old it is.

[SuperflyLamar]

25 to 30 thousand? There’s people that can buy 30-50 dollars in parts and have it running and driving in hours. It’s absolutely savable for less than 1/4 of that

[jontory]

Restore. It's history at its best. Beautiful. I'd buy it if I could afford it and if I were younger.

[GhostDrummer]

So sad that you guys can’t see the beauty of this car. The electrical system isn’t that difficult to rebuild that harness. The interior is completely rebuildable. The exterior rust isn’t that bad and the chrome is still all there.

[aaronroberts]

It's worth every effort, still a solid car compared to some being built. Too good to part out, fix what needs fixing and enjoy it 🤙

[GlibHarbringer]

It wouldn’t make financial sense to fully restore it, but honestly, this car is cool as-is. Polish it, oil the paint, and you’re done with the exterior. Mitigate the rodent infestation inside, get the old flathead six running and fix the brakes. Enjoy it without having to worry about its value.

[todddenio]

It’s very worthy of restoration. Most of them were either scrapped years ago or rust has returned too much of the body and chassis to the earth. This one is solid and up here in the rust belt you just don’t find that as they were pretty much all gone by the mid 60’s and by the 70’s seeing a DeSoto from the early 50’s was about as common as seeing purple unicorns running down the street.

[janhurter]

It is surely worth saving, and have a high value, there was not much of them made, except of the damaged interior, it is still a beautifully solled car, and a beautifull car.

[joe.olivet]

This is a survivor car… Cleaned it up, make it mechanically sound and drive on.

[peterhoulis]

Of course its saveable, what an awesome car, mate you got no idea about vintage cars

[komi-origami]

Such a mythical design from the American vehicle history! She deserves shiny new days ❤️

[jacquelinemanzano]

The Desoto is well worth restoring! Get the seats and interior reupholstered, new headliner & door panels and a decent paint job. Its a beautiful Classic Car. I would buy it if I had the $$$ to spare.😂

Also, this car has TONS of potential. You don't have to spend 20K-30K on this car to give it a new life. Literally $500-$1, 000 worth of parts and elbow grease and you have a cruiser for the weekends around town.
Any true car guys/gals reading my comment won't disagree.

[_Julie_Bee]

Even before watching I thing it's an absolute save. I'd save an old rusted carcass so yes. Save!!😍😍

[ericw]

They all need to be saved, this is American history. This could easily be a drive while you restore type car. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Keep the patina get it running and drive it

[westpeterman]

It's great to see a old classic being brought back to life I always enjoy seeing it.

[lawrenceharp]

Neat old car, appears to have been re - painted and some bodywork done perhaps in the very late 60's or so, used for a bit and then parked in early to mid 70's. Not the original color, but somebody loved it at one time and freshened it up. Enjoyed watching the wash! It most likely does run, and could be a driver without bothering with elaborate restoration. Scrapping it would be sinful..

[davem]

Great survivor car, Disappointing to see you bailed on this one without even trying to give it a little shine even if it was just on part of the hood that wasn't heavily rusted.

[llewis]

Totally restorable and worth saving. I have never seen one running and driving for 10-15, 000. Nothing is impossible.
