jscheib Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I think we need a bit more info. What specific model is it?, sedan, coupe, phaeton? Is head blown or just gasket, or whole engine? Seems to me, if all else good, you might take a chance at half the asking price, depending on model and actual condition, such as good chrome..

C Carl Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 And condition of top and interior. This could range from totally intact weather proof original top , protecting a highly presentable useable mildew free original interior , to your worst nightmare. Structural wood ? This is all a REAL BIG DEAL ! The implications of this , and John's advice above should be obvious. If you need meaningful further guidance here , you really should include pictures of all aspects of the car. Good detailed shots , with decent resolution would serve you well. Also , you just might be lucky enough to have a friendly fellow club member not too far from you who could help. I hope for your sake that all it needs is a bit of mechanical work , and you get a good car at a reasonable price. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Along with the top, interior and wood comments, remember that if you cannot drive the car, you cannot evaluate clutch, transmission and rear (not to mention front end, brakes, etc.) So, in my opinion, these are all suspect. (seems like many sellers don't acknowledge this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Engle Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Which model is critical to value. model 65, only 79 built. model 66, 636 built. 66C 450 built. 66S 1678 built. 67 9,031 built. 68 1514 built. 68C 365 built. After rarity comes condition. The drive trains are common to all the 60 series models. Bob Engle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I never heard of a cylinder head being "blown". Cracked, yes. Blown head gasket, yes. The latter is easy to fix; the former might be repairable, and might not. A good machine shop would have to look at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Phillips Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the photos. I would say $10,000 is a good buy for a beauty like that, even if it needs mechanical work to get it running. Provided the engine isn't totally ruined, I'd say go for it!

I don't see drooping door handles or doors that don't fit well, so I'd guess the structure and wear looks promising. Complete down to matching sidemount covers, rack, and twin horns...chrome looks very nice....etc etc etc however, I am a huge fan of 32 and 33 USA Automobile styling...so I am biased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
