Thriller Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Whimper. I don't have a car from the '30s yet, and I love the '36s. The blasted lottery just hasn't come through yet. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jscheib Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Stuart,Someone I know was interested in such a car, but when I told him it needed work he did not pursue as far as I know. I agree, very rare car and a bargin, to be sure. You could probably sell some of the spares and recover a few thousand. I am not sure what seems to be a V8 engine included in the photos.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriller Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Wasn't me. John, the V8 was an additional engine - an Olds 350 since the guy had originally planned to rod the car. It still had the original drive line in it.I'm not sure the $12k was a bargain. Granted, there were numerous spare parts, but with the entire interior out / gone, it would be a fair amount of work to determine even what is correct. I think that if someone wanted to rod the car that they'd find a cheaper alternative. The BiN price was half way between #3 and #4 values according to the August Old Cars Report price guide, so I think it was on the high side without having a good inventory of all the spares.
