Equipment
No doors, rear-mounted spare, dual carbs, top bows.
Condition
As nicely done as any Crosley deserves to be. Good paint, upholstery and top. Good chrome except the headlight bezels. Tidy restored engine. Chassis redone assembled, but at least redone thoroughly.
Market commentary
'Simple' barely describes the Crosley Hot Shot, but in this case simplicity is the formula for some success and exceptional performance. Tuners talked of 70+hp in a highly stressed single overhead camshaft Hot Shot engine. This one is warmed up with twin carbs and competently presented in decent cosmetically restored condition. It sold at Mecum's Monterey auction in 2010 for $16,430, at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2011 for $25,300 and at Mecum Kansas City in 2011 for an inexplicable $31,800. The result here is much more than a return to normalcy, it is a great value.
