I would say the prices you have are over inflated on a rusty hulk. A nice barn find probably. That said, I just bought a 34 Packard 12 clock in very nice condition for 200 bucks. Things are much softer now. The price went high as a person bought it to finish a project.....so I can understand it to a certain degree..........as far as its value as a project car....I stand by my comments. I know the new owner is here, and do not wish to offend. That's the great thing about a free and open market. I would like to see his car he bought this for.........
