    Also, the car that is the subject of this thread is missing the blower,  which is a 20k problem.  You can't open the hood because everybody will ask you where it went.

    Would this be the same concern on a Graham Hollywood? I know of one sitting in a barn. Missing the blower, but there is another Graham with the blower that goes with the Hollywood.

    That's the kind of one I would like to find.  Looks the part almost all the way around,  but at 1/10th the price.  Too bad I need to build my garage.  I would trade my Cord for it straight up. 

    What is the value on one done this way?  Do guys that want replicas want them to be more resto mod or dead on replicas? 

    I did email them offering to trade my Cord for it.

    How about this one?

  3. Did Cadillac make a 2 door in 1941 that was not a coupe? In the coupes, did they make a regular coupe that looked similar to a '41 Chevy coupe & an aero coupe(fastback)?

    Can I assume any 1941 Cadillac is worth pursuing at the right price, but a coupe is the most desirable next to the convertible?

    Thank in advance for any replies & info.

  4. Not mine. Maybe someone here wants it.

    https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/cto/d/1940-packard-110-club-coupe/6259151554.html

    1940 Packard club coupe. Original engine is free spinning. I'm sure it will run.
    Car came up from southern USA in 1962. Was stored in side until last year when storage was lost.
    Solid floors and trunk, seat frame is there, dash is complete. All window frames are there.
    Rear fenders were brazed on in the early 1980 and trunk was shaved. Car has never been wrecked but right fender has a good dent that was poorly repaired at the same time as the rear fenders. Running boards are very nice other then the rubber flaking off. Still straight not whamoed . Body is in very nice shape. Right grill is missing a piece but I believe I have access to a replacement. Original colour was Forrest green. Doors and hood opened and shut solid.
    Chassis is in great shape. I'm sure the engine will run if your into trusting 77 year old original Engines.

    Would make a killer hotrod. Would also make a good start to a restoration. Anyone contacting me with the words "rat rod" should be bitch slapped. Too nice for that garbage. Fat Man fabrication makes a front MM2 stub for this car should a hot rod be needed.

    Car is in Winnipeg Mb Canada. Registered here. Built in USA so is nafta compliant.

    Asking $8500 usd OBO. I would be willing to trailer it into North Dakota and would work with a buyer to take care of paper work. I have sold cars into the USA in the past and know all the documents needed to facilitate a easy entry in to the us.

    Cell is 204-229-5513.

    and once again, the "experts" have spoken.......................

     I should have specified AMERICAN manufactured cars, not CANADIAN manufactured cars. After all, we are in AMERICA and any discussion of cars in this country usually is referring to cars manufactured for sale in this country unless otherwise specified. Canadian cars are a whole separate entity & I don't believe they should be used as the exception to prove the rule is false. ie: Their Pontiacs had Chevy engines in the '60's. They have a "Chevelle" called a Beaumont. Different cars, different countries, different manufacture.

    Never stated I was an "expert". Did state IMHO, but maybe only certain "expert" advice should be heeded. Lighten up.

    apparently today- most all chevelles are SS...................

     

    very hard to tell if your car actually was or not-most guys think they know the difference and dont. Ist thing everyone says is if its a 138 car its an ss. not always true and some 136 cars were ss

     

    as far as having the wrong engine. if you like the car, then buy it. biggest question is how is the rust? good solid car, then buy accordingly and as to price.

     

    having the wrong motor does matter, so dont get carried away paying too much.

     

    good luck!

    There are two items in some replies to your inquiry I want to address. First, having messed with big block Chevys, I don't believe a T350 or a Powerglide can hold up to the gobs of torque a big block puts out unless the trans is specifically set up & beefed up for racing. My last big block car I used a T400 in it. They're pretty much bullet proof.

    Second, some replies IMHO are giving you bad advice about whether or not the car is an SS. If it's VIN starts with 138 it is an SS396. If it starts with 136, IT IS NOT. There is no such animal as a 1968 Chevelle SS396 with a VIN starting with 136. How do I know this? From the material & literature I read, put together by some of the best Chevy minds in the country.

    Standard Catalog of American Cars page 162

    Chevrolet by the Numbers pages 25 & 26

    Chevrolet SS Muscle Car Red Book page 88

    I rest my case.

  9. There's more vehicles than what's in the ad. I see a pair of Chevy/GMC pickups. May be more stuff. I would venture to say that Nick & Breeda are heirs or reps of heirs & the heirs want the money, not the cars.

    "Attendance will be limited to the first 15 qualified respondents" --- How do you qualify?

    "Once the 20 participants have been secured and confirmed" --- Is it 15 or 20?
