Wouldn't it be nice to buy a good, original prewar President, blow it apart to build it into a rod, and sell the removed parts in a single package deal for enough to finance a large segment of the project?!? Did this seller even pay that much for the whole car? I will spare the forum my opinion of someone who would take a good original, rare car and rod it. This lot will have to be slowly pieced out to get even a third of the asking price, I am afraid.
I bought everything removed from a good '39 Commander that was rodded for a very small fraction of what this reality-impaired seller thinks he will get. (under $200.00 on ebay, and that was when the economy was still intact) I am always getting calls from people with good flat head engines & even 289's, who have built rods out of good original cars & want to unload their old iron. Some think it is extremely valuable, and others just want it hauled away..These deals are everywhere, unfortunately. I also see several cases every year in which someone has rodded a 4 dr Studebaker at a cost of 20-30K, and can not understand why buyers are not lining up to give him enough to recoup his entire investment..Hope springs eternal...
