Agreed, an old friend from church gave me a lead on a 1941 110 special that a widow wanted to sell, needed cash.

The car was being restored by her late husband. He had it repainted non-packard two tone. The paint job wrong colors aside, was incorrect as to the way Packard painted two tone. He had the entire car cream with maroon fenders etc.

The interior was crush velvet maroon and looked like something that belonged in a Brothel. the car has not been started in years, dash needs restored etc.

The son is the negotiator and got quite offended when I balked at his firm price of $35,000.

tried to explain while a nice job, it is incorrect, mechanically unknown,and only if resorted properly to concurs level would he even have a chance at coming close to that price, and to do so would take around 40k for correct paint and interior.

Needless to say, they sill have it today and people continue to pass.
