Gunsmoke Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 just purchased a rare '31 Chrysler CD8 Roadster which had been barned 40+ years ago, stripped, painted all over with red oxide, and left untouched last 30+ years. anyonje have spare parts for this, drivetrain, all lights (head,tail,cowl), 6 wire wheels, F/R bumpers, miscellaneous trim? Car was "rodded" in the 1950's, classic '48 Cadillac V8, LaSalle Tranny, Auburn rear end, steel wheels, 15" on front, 16" on rear, oddball headlights and bumpers. Have not yet decided if I will restore (at a cost of $30K-$50K) or return to '50's era rod appearance (perhaps cost of $10K-$20K). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 That is a cool car. I think restoring it back to original may not work financially unless the car was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgedh2 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I've got a CD8 engine w/clutch housing. I'm located in Michigan. Open to offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 You will make a bit of your money back if you post those headlamps for sale on the H.A.M.B. website! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Finding a parts car with all your needs may be your most economical way of getting it back to original, perhaps even cheaper than restoring it as a rod. The car begs to be saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
