Another rare eBay find!
 

Check out ebay item #162892032790 Notice the custom wiring harness! And the hand crafted battery hold down! How about the "rollaway vinyl soft top"? Or "the interior fully restored back to the original look"?? And the wrinkle paint finish? I think the lower radiator hose is original

I'm going to pass on this one so y'all can have a chance at it!:D

Holy cow! That wiring is an absolute mess!

It may not be for me, but I usually don't knock someone's taste in modifications...but at least do it nice and neatly.

Is this a combination of a 1929 and 1931? The front bumper is 30/31, but the radiator shell seems to be from 1929. The wiring is to clear winner for a back to original restoration. Wow!

If the interior is as nice as the outside, I'm making an offer, so you guys back off!

Over priced yes but I was expecting a real turd. Doesn't look that bad to me. Don't see anything that cant be put back. That radiator shell is nowhere near being a 29.

I'm sure that snap-on top will stay on at 50 mph and when it stays on, the loose areas won't flap and mar that beautiful paint job.

Maybe I am missing something but it looks like a normal 1930 radiator shell. It is wrong for the year of course.

This looks like the kind of car that Marshall has told me he gets into his garage to 'restore' and 'fix'.

Ouch:eek::eek:

Gateway Classic Cars must not be too fussy about what comes thru the door this car is a turd. And at $15K?? For a Tudor in this shape??

If it was an A-400 or a '30 Tudor Dlx. Phaeton that was worth putting money into, yeah. But a Tudor Sedan?? Never.

Gateway usually has better stuff albeit overpriced, at least as far as asking price. For $15K, one can get an authentic 30/31 Tudor.

The shell is a 30 - same as 31 but without the indented top panel.

Ha, ha, ha! Jeff knows what he's talking about there! Yup - somehow that type of vehicle always seems to find its way into my life...and won't go away. It's just a matter of time before this one shows up on my doorstep with a request from the new owner to "fix a few little things". Here we go again!

Pictures always look better than the car actually is. I cant imagine how bad it looks in person.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek

Really does not say too much for Gateway. Really, how long would it take them to clean up the wires and battery hold down and then show it.
