This 38 super 8 with the wrong engine is getting desperate. He dropped $20k since advertising it. It's still way over priced.

I doubt if a buyer of that Darrin thing could succeed in court. A judge wouldn't hear a case like that in the absence of a qualified appraisal and dismiss on the grounds of due diligence not being fulfilled.

Secondly, most judges would consider anybody nuts for paying that much money for old cars. I knew an early CCCA guy who had a mint original SSK Mercedes that had parts stolen off of it at a shop. He sued and the judge simply looked at the case and threw it out on the grounds that old car collectors are nuts.

If you spend that much $$$ and you are not a Darrin expert and you fail to hire one....all I can say at that point: you can't fix stupid!

Now read the description on this Henney if you need a good laugh

Odd that they detail the overhead sunglasses holder, the USB port, heated steering wheel, etc. but no mention of what they are using as an engine. Or did I miss it? I think it needs a backup camera.

How about the 4wd on a Henney?

This beautiful 36 120 touring coupe looks great on the outside but inside and under the hood is

Another mongrel, and such a shame - it's a quite rare body style.

Well here's a 37 115 touring coupe:
