I do not understand the « logic » that leads to an interior like the 37 12’s

At this point, I suppose that individual valuation depends primarily upon a) do you want one and b) can you find another one in better shape cheaper

Can you though? The 41's tend to be worth more than the V8's and that would be a decent ask even for a comparable V8.

Speaking of things being worth more than V8's....how about this one? 1955 Patrician, abandoned project. Body appears straight, can't see any major rust from the pictures. But it is in Portland, so maybe there's more rust than it seems. Interior is gone. Motor has been rebuilt, but oil pump needs to be rebuilt. Transmission is supposedly operative. I'm assuming this has the 374, but I'm not familiar enough with them to tell just by looking at the engine. Engine has been repainted in red, which is not correct. But engine bay appears to be relatively clean. Some of the chrome actually looks pretty good. Glass is good. Parts or project. Portland, OR. Asking double what I paid for Rusty McRustface at $600, but in immensely better condition. My wife would kill me if I brought another project like this home.

Also found a 1937 6 cylinder engine near me. Complete engine w/ 3 speed transmission, and a spare transmission. Looks pretty good from the outside. Only $350. Anyone need this?

Wives are easy to find but not so good deals!
