Just out of curiosity, what would putting that rodded '38 Super Eight formal sedan back to correct specifications cost?
Presently, a fellow in Cleveland has three '38 Super Eight engines and parts for sale for $10K. One presumes a rebuild would be necessary. A correct transmission and ancillary parts have to be sourced as well.
As far as the interior, though presently 'mouse-fur', could remain until a later time to re-upholstered. Still, it too would be more expense eventually.
