Need more pictures, but from what I see the price is in the ballpark.

To each his own but I think it is overpriced. If I owned it I would be ecstatic to get that price. I have bought better recently for less.

No hump on that running board splash shield. Possibly an unmolested "single brake" system.

Very reasonable. Adjusted for inflation this is a better buy than my purchase of March 29 CC pickup.

But I bought with too much heart and too much wallet.

In my 4 month search I did notice price varied with location; East and Left Coast were the highest, middle America the lowest...

Looks like a straight forward car. Needs more pictures of the other side of the engine / dash rail / dash / front seats , pictures like that. More detail . but still a nice looking straight car.. You save time and money at the end of the restoration.Better to start off with something solid and straight. Price ??? i put it at $7,300.00 ...only because its a 5 numbered engine.

The fact that this Tudor is a 4-digit car should not make the price this high unless it includes the hard to find early items such as the on-off-dim light switch, open bail light switch, banana popout, etc. Paying this price and then finding and buying the early items will put someone upside down in this Tudor real fast!

Ah, but you're looking at it with a restorer's eye. Post production parts generally fit - and can be part of the car's "persona."

Just as the parts that are there now are likely not all original.

Originality has a cost - and one that the fine pointers are willing to pay simply because of the challenge.

My own truck will NEVER be a fine pointer - but that doesn't mean I can't drive it past the admiring eyes of the Dump Nazi, who would give up his swastika up to own it.

"Hey, park it over there with the rest of the junk" he says.
