That 400 with the orchid cloth is not too far from me. Never seen that cloth pattern before, looks nice. Nice color combo and wire wheels are a bonus.
Two others near me that are interesting for different reasons.
1941 120 Business Coupe project. This one was posted here not long ago, but the guy has now dropped the price twice. Started at $17,500, now at $11,000 which is much more reasonable. Was a frame-off restoration that either stalled or the guy doing it is unable due to health. Lots of newly chromed parts, engine is apart and ready to reassemble. No interior that I can see in the pictures. But it looks like it's close to the point of primer and paint, then reassembly. This would be a super fun project. Tempting.
1953 Clipper Sportster. I remember this car being for sale a few years ago. The guy had re-chromed a bunch of stuff (bumper, grille, headlight rings, etc) and had reupholstered the seats and door cards (in incorrect cloth and color). But the floors were completely shot. This car popped up again a month or so ago in the middle of Oregon, and now it's up for sale again in the different city for only $500. Sounds like the guys that bought it realized it was worse than they thought. But I'm halfway tempted to get it, just so I can swap all the good chrome pieces for the crap that's on my car. Plus a spare engine (if it can be salvaged), transmission, and other spare parts. Heck, I might even see about repairing the floors, paint the body dark gray, the wheels red, new whitewalls, and put a glasspack on the exhaust.
