    Dan,

    got your msg. I am not a member of the Stutz club. WB is 120" Will get some pics of the engine.

    The chassis was originally set up for 4 wheel hydraulic brakes, though now the car is just set up for brakes on the rear. Would be nice to score a set of brakes for the front.

    my plan is build a touring body for it, or an earlier style roadster body, as i am kinda tall and if i built the same body as your car, i would never fit in it.

    the WB on the dog is uber custom...chopped, sectioned, bobbed and channeled :eek:

    attached some pics (sorry for the crummy cell pics)

    The question is, how does Joe Average figure out a fair value for his car?  Sellers never pay any attention to the Old Car Value Guide or NADA.  Here lately, I can't find a free listing for NADA on line either.  I used to use that as a guide, but I could never buy a car for what they said it was worth.  The latest car I sold I got a value from my insurance company.  My gut feeling is that price I put on it was low.  One thing I've also always found is you can never buy another replacement car for anything close to what you sold yours for.  Makes me scratch my head.

     

    agree and with your credentials in the hobby shows how hard it is for any of us to gauge current values.   at this point in my life i focus perhaps as you on those certain makes i know i will keep  and or perhaps due to a few regrets after i sold some old ones for whatever reasons at the time.

    over priced pre war cars often sit until a realistic offer is made...fairly priced cars sell.   one has to decide what  make he or she has a passion for and start looking...hard to generalize values with thousands of different makes and models of pre war cars.  a Kissel sedan has a different value than a Kissel roadster or a Locomobile Jr. different than many other locomobiles etc etc.   open versus closed with notable exceptions on values etc.  Stutz six cylinder in late 20s different value than a vertical eight depending on condition. the rule of thumb as the 1940s and 1950s collectors of early cars  taught us...it costs as much to restore a valuable cars as it does a more common make....etc etc
