Would anyone happen to know where I could find an engine crank for a 1928 Chevy 2 door sedan in decent condition?

It's not how fast you can go, but how good you look at 20 MPH.

If you're willing to let it go, how much are you asking? Do you a photo you could include?

Thanks, Gregg. I'm not sure what the engine(starter)crank is worth myself. I saw one on ebay not long ago that looked like it had been dug out the ground. I think that one sold for around $25. My '28 has an electric starter, but a mechanic friend says a crank is great to have when working on the engine.

Doug,
I thought you were talking about a crankshaft, not a crank to turn over the engine. I don't have one of those. I apologize, I will look around and let you know if I can find one. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
