So ya wanna mostly restored car huh? Have I got your dream car here! New Schwalms eng. new "Drabs" paint. And New wood throughout! Lotsa good stuff throughout. Engine, Bored out, oversized valves, inserted bearings, lightened fly Wheel, HC head, B manifold and carb. $6000 worth! Rebuilt rear. Needs wiring and upholstery and top kit. I have dumped a lot of preinflation dollars into this and Id like to get most of it back. This doesn't count my time So I'm asking $9500. The car can be seen at "My A" in the photo gallery.

Like most hobbies it's only expensive if you keep track of the costs. Doing all the work myself, buying what used parts i could, our Free 28 Tudor has cost me $23k over the last 3 years. Will be a few grand more if this old engine ever needs rebuilt.
