So, would it be sacrilegious to swap a good running 16 from a frumpy sedan into one of the more desirable models? And are they at all interchangeable from year to year and body style to body style?

If I bought one of these and the engine was bad, I don't think I'd want to pay $75-85,000 to rebuild the engine.

If you owned a V16 car and the engine was bad, can a period correct V8 be swapped?

I'm guessing he's a flipper. Strong possibility this he bought this car and it's still sitting where he found it. Here's his "information" on the other cars he mentions in the ad.

More than likely to keep dust off. No matter how clean your garage is, your car still gets dusty.

I’d rather have the ‘59 next to it.

No, it’s salt. Being I’ve lived my whole life in MN, I’m VERY familiar with salt and rust.

No, it’s rust.

Why the rust on the hood and trunk? Must have been driven some in winter what with the salt crust on the driver carpet.

Pardon my ignorance but what the heck does that mean?

There better be for $25K. Maybe some of it is gold plated.

Not accusing anyone here, but if this car were to come up for sale, I would think a potential buyer would want to know about the accident, extent of damage and the repair process. Not saying anything seems rather shady. On the not showing photos of the wreck, can someone please explain why it's ok to take and post multiple photos of a car at a show, cruise, etc. but not ok to post a photo of one that's been in an accident?

Custom green & green custom cloth.

There are groups on FB that offer a lot of help and advice. I’m on a couple and have been helped out through them. Is the SPID (it’s a big paper label with options listed) still on the inside of the glovebox?

It will be bought by someone with big $$$ and show up at the drag strip as a gasser.

I would think they wouldn’t be that difficult to turn on a lathe.

With a strong emphasis on odd!

Just when I thought “Finally, a project car that’s realistically priced.

I'd much rather have the pretty green car next to it.

Current bid is $725. I wonder if a $10,000 bid was thrown at it, would that scare off most potential bidders?

The value of any of the remaining 36 just went up.

Neat looking car. The last photo shows some other older cars near yours. Any possibility of finding out about them and/or getting some photos of them? One of them looks like a ‘59 Buick.

My guess would be vacuum.
