  1. Just picked up this DB/GB that was listed as a 1926. The S/N number would indicate that it was built in January of 1927, but I believe the engine is a Fast Four (distributor through the head). Do you think that would that be correct for the truck? I haven't got it home yet to do a thorough inspection, but it seems to be fairly complete other than missing the window regulators and top. Any info on this type of rig would be appreciated.

    The sad reality is for virtually every "common" old car (in condition like this or even in better condition), even if you can get them for $0, the likelyhood of recovering anything close to ones parts, material and labour costs for restoration are slim. The only ones who seem to know this truism are those who have restored a car. So lets just accept it as a wonderful hobby where the payback is the personal satisfaction one gets from (a) doing the work, (b) saving an old car from a worse fate, (c) enjoying owning and driving them and (d) the admiration of fellow car guys who have the same sickness! Well worth the "on paper" loss!

     

     I totally agree. This car is what I would drive as a "survivor". Just get it up and running and enjoy it as is. I'm certainly not in the hobby to turn a profit, but just for the enjoyment (and also the occasional frustration) of owning something unique.
