Re-cored Radiator. $6000
Sounds like $6K for just the radiator to me.

For cellular radiator cores, especially ones with unusual profiles or shapes, $6000 isn't an uncommon price.
Take a look at the last pic of the car, that's a plain tube and fin aluminum radiator. If he paid that much for that radiator, someone had him over the barrel big time. My local radiator shop quoted me $800 to build me a new aluminum radiator for my '48, without even looking at the old one. They told me that's the most they charge for non-heavy truck radiators like an Euclid. It was $600 to recore my old one, so that's what I did. The only thing "unusual" about that radiator is the upper hose nipple with the integral radiator cap. That doesn't make it that expensive, either.
