Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Flathead V 8, Offenhauser heads, dual carb intake, Ford chassis, Cadillac steering wheel, hardtop. Fiberglas body on 40s Ford chassis and running gear. Restored to better than new, displayed at Amelia Island, now showing some age. Flaking, thin windshield frame chrome. An interesting piece with no history.

Market commentary

Auctions America had this car at Ft. Lauderdale in March where it attracted a bid of $38,000. With no history its just a sound and usable kit car on a 40s Ford frame and suspension. The estimate has now twice been proved optimistic. Its time for the seller to get real and take something like the money that has been twice offered.
