This was a 36 120 sports coupe, now it looks more like a lemon...

I called on that Patrician in Delaware and from the engine number the seller gave me it appears to have a 320 instead of a 352. A real bummer IMO.

If the Delaware Patrician has as good a body, interior and mechanicals as the photos would leave you to believe, then the asking price is not too far out of line. You can do a 352 conversion for a whole lot less than doing body and interior work. With the correct and good running engine a price of somewhere around $10K would not be out of line. I think you would still be above water after an engine replacement. In the mean time you could drive and enjoy it while sourcing and preparing a new engine. Just something to think about.

Hi Packard0

JW is right, if all other aspects check out as good and correct, replacing the 320 with a 352 would be a very cost-affective way to a great Patrician for less than current market prices. Sale of the 320 would offset some of the cost of the 352 as well.

Might as well throw in a couple Clippers:

A '54 Clipper Deluxe, driver condition:

A '57 Clipper Town Sedan, 39K miles, looks great except for bumper chrome:

The seller of the Delaware Patrician also said it has 109K miles and to his knowledge the tranny has never been rebuilt :( Another bummer and fairly big cost to do.

Well he's asking a very reasonable price for a good running car. I'd rather buy this than a fixer upper that's priced slightly under this one. Cars that haven't ran in forever and parked in the pasture needing total restoration are priced for half of the asking price of this one. You can't go wrong on this car in my opinion, and if it was all perfect and the guy asked $15k you wouldn't buy it to begin with cause it's to expensive.
