May be more than you want to spend, but redline stands has a nice rotisserie. I want to say it can be had right around $1100 shipped and includes the stabilizer legs most charge extra for. I have no affiliation with them, but I am in the market for one too and it was the cheapest decent rotisserie I could find.

Salisbury, if you were a little closer I would come take a look. From the photos it looks like some repairs were done in the past. Was this car ever wrecked? Does it need "longs"? Are the photos of the worst parts or representative of the entire car? Do you have a lift available to take the car off the rotisserie? I'm thinking it would be safer to transport the tub on an open trailer?

thanks

I don't know your budget but I picked up this about 4 yrs ago...1100. shipped to my door. Comes complete with hydraulics and is safety pinned all around. I also drilled holes through the connecting arms and bolted them not to move and it's a solid investment. I'm converting it to a modified 2 post lift since the weight rating far exceeds what my car will eventually weigh. Saves you time and headache IMO...

Auto Atlanta sells rotisserie plans for $16.50. If you dig in online, you'll find them posted.

There is another site with detailed plans...don't recall exactly...a google search will find it easily.

I built mine last year for about $600...including the heavy duty rotating heads I bought from Jegs (80042-5) and the heavy duty polyurethane casters from Tractor Supply (SKU 353001299). The center piece is a galvanized 10 foot pipe from Lowes.

I did offset weld the rotating heads...the body shell was still a little top heavy, but, I could manage rotation by myself.

I also built mine a little taller to provide plenty of clearance for the fender flares...the whole unit still fit into a standard height garage.

I'm probably at a point where I'm ready to sell mine...shipping from Louisiana would, unfortunately, be cost prohibitive.

If interested, I could take a few measurements of my rotisserie build.
