Thinking the white Dodge Charger is a better investment.

"A man's gotta know his own limitations" 4 remarkable cars that are very used needlessly trashed and disassembled, everything is in boxes, parts scattered all over the place, probably parts are mixed up and probably no car is as it was before the "good intentions" of fix'n-em-up.... but never quite got around to that scenario. What was the owner thinking??? 4 projects to be sure, but I'm betting these cars never see the road again. So, so sad. Bummer!

Oh my....
Side note, I didn't realize that the entire roof structure was solid wood under the cabriolet tops. I always assumed there was a layer of sheet metal under the leather. Learned something new today. -Kevin

They might all be apart, but they all look to have been taken out the junkyard. None look to have been nice originals gone wrong. Nothing speaks affluence like a Packard 12 Town Car and those survived no doubt because scrapping town cars for parts declined with convertible sales in the thirties. They might be rough, but they survived the body swapping craze of the 1960's and 70's.
That said, the future looks bleak. The one with bolts holding the cylinder heads on is another story. I wonder what that was all about?

I wonder what the seller has in mind for an offer. He has a number in there somewhere. Likely, my stuff is gold and yours is lead.
I wouldn't know where to begin . . . .

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.

A running project 37 V12 sedan on BAT brought $25k. I'm going to say that these 4 together are probably worth that, or am I too optimistic?
