Even if you needed a few parts, $1800 plus shipping probably won't get anyone too excited.

Scrap iron is around $150/ton, if you could convince a scrapper to come and get it.

Ouch, no love for the Hupp.

[58L-Y8]

Checking the engine spec's, a 3 3/4 X 5 1/2 bore & stroke four-cylinder engine was 243 cubic inches.  A '17 Buick Four was only 170 ci, a Dodge Four only 212 ci. but a REO Four Model R was 240 ci.  Suppose the choice was between large four-cylinder or near size six-cylinder engines then, everyone offered a touring car and if there was an agency or dealer handy.

As an owner of a basket case "N", I have learned a few things about these. First of all a Hupp "N" is a big car (34x4 tires) and this particular "N" in the ad is the long wheelbase model. 134 inches(!) in case anyone missed that detail. For a relatively low cost car in it's time, this thing is gigantic. The long wheelbase was for 7 passenger tourings and limousines. Comparisons to Buick and others may be misleading. These cars had fairly high displacement but were rather choked down in the breathing department, probably so you couldn't hurt them easily, and they were fours. It was all about reliability and hill pulling power. Other makes at the same displacement are likely to be faster cars, but might not pull hills in high like the Hupp. "N"'s were made from 1915-1917 with minor changes. This one might really be a 1916(?), not that it makes much difference. The "N" was replaced with the smaller "R" also in 1917. The "R" was very popular and hung around well into the 20s.
