For a four door... I don't think a quarter of that price would be right!
Those accustomed to the finest...find it in Chevrolet.

Makes you wonder why he is selling, doesn't it? People who build rigs like that should be made to keep them.

In my humble opinion, BOTH cars are georgeous.  The first one is "one of a kind".... custom engineered. Very nicely done.  The second one is "one of a kind".... engineered by GM and the Nazis during WWII. It used to be a member's car in the VCCA Northwest Region.  Very, very rare. http://www.woodworthmotors.com/Vehi...et-Cabrolet-Maroon-Andover-MA/1362904543

Is that Nazi quote right? The car is a '38, and the Nazi's were not in France until 1940...

Eastern Ed, Well, you do have to appreciate the workmanship. BB and JD do and I do. And, the asking price (87K) is only a little over half of what is claimed to have been invested (145K). What a deal! To be sure, someone will jump on this highly personalized 1938 sedan. Maybe it could be trailered to some of our meets and displayed a good example of what "personalization" is all about and to demonstrate what can be accomplished by us old "preservation and restoration" folks if we just get off our butts and wallets and use a little imagination. (Now, try to figure if I'm being serious or not.) Charlie

GM and the Nazis? Can you say a little more about that quote? 1938 would be a little early for the French ,GM and the Nazis to be building a car wouldn't it?

Asking a price and getting a price are two different things. These cars end up for sale for years and years. Same cars with same for sale prices stuck in the windows 10 years +. !
Eventually the price is brought down to some correct amount to what one person will pay.
How many times have we seen a car sell on barrett jackson auctions with whats his name saying , you could not restore / build the car for what the bid is. !!
cost $200G to build , sells for $70G

I wonder how many guys are really just FISHING. They list the car for a really high reserve and then brag about the high bid to others and knew it wouldn't sell anyway for that amount. You can always say " I was offered $XXXX for my old car but just couldn't let it go. I bet there are some on this forum....HHMMMM...Who could that be?

SORTA. There has been talk of a forum for modified cars but so far it hasn't happen. I guess it depends on what you call modified. To some, if the headlight bulb doesn't have the correct number it's modified. To others it would have to be a streetrod to be called a modified car. It's better to pretend you have a correct car and let others tell you you don't...grin Either way, you'll get all the help you need and you are in the right place for sure. 99% of these guys play well with others and are willing to go the extra mile to help you with anything you can think of concerning old chevrolets. Meant for johnod.
