found a frame ????

(1/2) > >>

DeSoto:
 Planning on having a look at this frame that is for sale soon.
Would like to get some of your opinions on possibly a maker style or a guess on
year this may have been built.
Anything you feel like sharing really as myself or the owner knows nothing about the
frame other than its 140" in length. What would be a fair price if tubes are good? Owner said there is no tag. No history.
 What should I look close at while checking this out in person?
  Newbie here so Thanks for any advise.

rooman:
This frame would only be good for a cackle car or the like. It looks to be owner built like many cars of the era as none of the design cues match any of the "pro" builders styles.

It's neat, but its probably only worth scrap value as a wall hanger or garage art.

dreracecar:
How many years has it been sitting outside???

  The frame is the cheapest part , its all the rest of the crap that adds up the cost, anything else comes with it?

DeSoto:
Thanks for the replies guys.
He has nothing else to go with the frame.
It was inherited to him by his deceased father in law
who had plans as using it as starting point for a display back in 2000.
Not sure how long it has been sitting out side in the weather since
then.
 Roo, thanks for the info as far as not being a match up to a professional built chassis. I have spent a lot of hours trying to compare this up to old photo's and was coming up with zero.
 Anyone care to guess on a year a frame like this may have likely
been built?
