1947 Chevrolet Fleetline

• The fastback body is covered in surface rust and faded blue paint patches, not the black finish the record lists.
• Rust holes are visible through the lower rear fender and door bottoms in the close-ups, and the rear deck is dented and holed.
• The interior is stripped: the dash has empty gauge holes, the floors are bare rusty metal and the front seat is a bare spring frame.
• The rear compartment and trunk floors are bare, rusty and dirty, with loose wiring throughout.
• A Fisher body plate is photographed inside the front compartment, which shows wiring and no fitted trim.
• No engine or underside photos are in the set, so the drivetrain and frame from below can't be judged.

Money: At $4,000 the money buys a rusted, stripped Fleetline fastback shell and project on this evidence; budget for complete body, floor, interior and mechanical work, and the missing-or-present state of the engine is what can't be judged that matters at this price.
