What is this...

And how much could I offer for it? I want to make it into a kustom, since that's cheaper than a full restoration.

I'm leaning toward it being a Dodge Brother's Victory Six.

It has no floor in it anymore.

It's been stored outdoors on cinderblocks.

Looks like the engine is intact.

It still has its wood wheels.

Looks Like a Late 20's Essex

Had a 1928 and Gave it away, no room

I think 27-28-29 one of those years

you can drive the car with only 3 wheels?

It is a 1928 or 1929 Dodge Victory Six Sedan like the one my parents own. They are well made vehicles and are great for touring! They came from the factory with hydraulic brakes, oil filter, a seven main bearing engine, centrifigal spark advance, etc. They are fairly rare cars with only about 86,000 produced. I can't really tell the exact condition it's in, but it looks like there is enough there to restore. I would hate to see it rodded or customized given their scarcity.

Please do not HotRod this car...

Buy a fiberglass kit "Rod" instead !

BUT...If you must "Rod"...

At least save all the old parts you do not need for an AACA member who needs them...

I have seen far too many rare old engines/ drive-trains, and hard to find parts end up in the dumpster in my area...Some from fully restored "Antique cars...

What a sad waste of old rare parts!

Dude, I have hot-rodded cars for years, and I agree with SilverGhost -- get this fine automobile to someone who can appreciate and restore it. Otherwise you will be pulling out your hair trying to find custom parts, and when you're all done, your fellow hot rodders will turn up their noses because it's not a Ford or Chevy.

I agree with the others, though this is obviously a group that caters to restorations.

I've always wondered, though, because I've heard it before: Why does anyone think it's cheaper to rod than restore??

Doesn't seem possible.
