B Jake Moran Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 An honest car to just breathe and enjoy the old car hobby. No worries about making money when you think about selling it. As issues pop up, have fun fixing them. Transport yourself back to 1955 with a turn of the key. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 In reading the description I might be able to see a new carburator and a new battery. But I don't really see evidence of rebuilt heads. Looks to be missing some duct work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Heads look degreased bare metal. It definitely needs detailing under the hood. But it’s $8500 obo when most are $13,000 asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the Lemay Museum AND the Lemay family collection..; Related, but not the same. This ad says it came from the family collection. So who knows how long ago.
