I saved a 92 from a hotrodder. Sold it to a club member, with a 46 212 engine, since passed, and it was bought by another member in E.Greenbush, NY. He drives it as a rat rod regularly.
I bought a 97 from the late Art Carkner. Wouldn't cast a good shadow. So rusted I couldn't save any of the body. In fact, trailering it home on I90 in Albany, NY one of the doors came off, and thoughtfully being held on by a rope, was flying over the passing lane. I saved the 254 and am running it in my 47 pickup. Tranny, rear end Electric Hand column, etc saved. Sold the grills on ebay. I understand some people are laser cutting new ones.

You don't see many 39's.
