Default Complete and cheap (maybe) 29 tudor

I am just passing on the info. If you are near Houston TX you might want to check this out. There is a link to a video for you to see. I know if it were in CT I would.

That is a nice-looking unrestored A. I hope whoever gets it keeps it that way. The lights and shell do NOT need to be "rechromed". I'd buy this, make it mechanically sound, fix the window, replace the upholstery, and drive it.

That is an interesting color green on the engine. It appears a lot lighter than the green you see on recently restored cars. I find it interesting because it looks a lot like the color of the engine on the 1930 Roadster we bought in the early 1970's. I'm not sure if the color has faded due to aging or if the original engine green was different that that currently used.

Per my experience, eBay cars with a reserve are usually expensive and do not initially sell. The seller will pay a lot just to list it and have it not sell.

I agree with 700rpm, this is probably a good one to get going and start driving...leave it generally original.

I have seen this color before. I think the rebuilder, years ago, had their own colors. I think one was red, another blue, and this green. I think it's an old rebuild.
