Hi

Delusional, a common condition when pricing collector cars....

Perhaps a few better value offerings:

That nice gray '51 200 sedan, $3K cheaper than above:

A '51 Patrician, compromised powertrain:

A sweet '41 110 sedan, ready-to-enjoy:

A gorgeous '55 Clipper Panama:

The 55 Clipper Panama is advertised with a numbers matching 352 engine. These Super models came with the 320 engine. A very nice looking Clipper, but suspicious about the claims.

(o{}o)

This 38 super 8 with the wrong engine is getting desperate. He dropped $20k since advertising it. It's still way over priced.

I doubt if a buyer of that Darrin thing could succeed in court. A judge wouldn't hear a case like that in the absence of a qualified appraisal and dismiss on the grounds of due diligence not being fulfilled.

Secondly, most judges would consider anybody nuts for paying that much money for old cars. I knew an early CCCA guy who had a mint original SSK Mercedes that had parts stolen off of it at a shop. He sued and the judge simply looked at the case and threw it out on the grounds that old car collectors are nuts.

If you spend that much $$$ and you are not a Darrin expert and you fail to hire one....all I can say at that point: you can't fix stupid!

Hi

None here in the rarified six-figure range but all just genuine Packard or nearly so:

A '51 300, needs floor repair but looks decent otherwise:

Try to restore one to this nice for the price, 11K miles:

Now read the description on this Henney if you need a good laugh

Odd that they detail the overhead sunglasses holder, the USB port, heated steering wheel, etc. but no mention of what they are using as an engine. Or did I miss it? I think it needs a backup camera.
