For that price, it should include a goodly portion of the car!
Maybe it would go with this- jalopnik.com/first-purpose-built-racing-corvette-goes-on-sale-for-6-1676348392 Enough off topic- I have seen a $1200 distributor cap for sale on ebay for a Packard 12, and $695 for two plated jr bumper guards.

Another delusional seller!
And the engine isn't correct for all those years and models he listed - lots of changes to the Twelve between 32 and 39.

Caveat Emptor.
A fool and his money... History is replete with it. Mostly the unknowing hoping to sell to the unknowing / unsuspecting as the above knowledgeable comments prove. Human perception of "value". In engineering, value equals function over cost, nothing more. ps: I tried to get a non-working NOS antenna for my Cad off an "ebay" inheritor. They were asking alot more than any rebuilt (which works), reason was not an option because the decedant had told them it was "valuable", and they emotionally refused to budge on price. So I hope they or the new owner enjoy looking at their priceless non-working antique... I got mine fixed for cheap. Those parts usually hang around a long time, then they sell them cheap to a bargain hunter or throw them out. The unfortunate part is alot deteriorate do to mishandling in storage. I know of a desirable car that's been sitting out for more than 5 years - that I've known. I tried to buy it > a year ago, but the owner won't part with it, is "collecting" and it's gone worthless sitting out. Rare, in itself, only has great value when owner is willing to sell, someone wants or needs it and is willing to pay the great price. Otherwise, it's either junk or museum eye candy - pay a cheap price to look - at best.
