54 300 (?) "needs assembled" in IL. 8 grand. The only good thing I see is the paint. The interior work so far looks very questionable and it's not clear that any other major work has even been done.

Uhh yeah don't dump 8k of paint, bloated door cards, and uninstalled parts onto a 54 sedan and expect to get it back. ☹️

It’s a Patrician (aka 400).

Other than the 12V system, what is wrong with this? Will be interesting to see what it brings.

1949, blown motor, interior was probably very nice when parked. ☹️ $1000

Couple of interesting FB Marketplace postings today:

1936 120 Sedan parts car. Somebody cut the entire roof off for some reason. This was an export model returned to the U.S. as it has RHD. Intact drive train and sheet metal does not look too bad. It has sidemounts with the metal covers, so that alone is worth something. Also has the accessory trunk rack. Seller looking for offers. Georgia:

1948 Standard Eight Sedan. A bit ragged around the edges and redone interior in red velour fabric is pretty bad, but the chrome looks really nice. Engine is free, but car is not running. Seller asking $5K. Kansas.

1937 115C Coupe. Looks like an abandoned street rod project. No drivetrain. Modern wheels. Body in primer and obviously still needs quite a bit of metal work. Front fenders look a little rough. Seller apparently looking for offers. Seller also had a 1946 Chevy panel truck for sale which is partially disassembled and has a modern drivetrain. Another abandoned street rod project. Illinois:

Dealer tag on deck lid indicates car was originally sold by Rimrock Motors in Billings, Montana. Collision damage to front end and rear deck lid but seller says he will include a complete front clip and a deck lid from a 1955 Clipper Sedan parts car (will sedan trunk lid fit the Constellation?).

1946 or 1947 Clipper Sedan. Not sure of model but think it might be a Clipper Six. Rough unrestored but intact. In a yard full of older model vehicles seller is trying to clear out. Also see a Studebaker Lark but rest of stuff looks newer, like 1980's and 1990's. See a Pontiac Fiero and an 1980's Olds Toronado. Lots of trucks; GM square bodies era and newer. Ad states everything needs to go. Montana:

And finally:

1917 Packard Twin Six. Or at least a rusty pile of wreckage that once was a 1917 Twin Six but has been left in the woods to rot away for many decades. Not sure if any of this stuff is even useable. Not a complete car. All I can recognize is the hood, frame and engine and radiator core. Seller looking for offers. Washington State:

Hate to see a car with a nice body like that cut up (especially in the NE where they are rare) but the dude is nuts thinking someone will pay $2500 no title. It would be a nice buy with title and at a grand tops, though. A good number of junk cars out there with half-decent engines.

Just added a few more to my post that you might want to take a look at.

Quote:

- 49 I already commented on a few posts ago

- yeah good luck trying to sell that street rod project to literally anyone...

- I think 7500 is optimistic on the hearse considering the mechanical condition is unknown, but it would be a very cool project for the right $$$

- the 110 is very nice but that interior looks off to me, did they even have all leather interiors for that year? It looks a bit too puffed as well.

- yes the trunk will interchange but there's still not enough to make one complete car there from the two, and there's better no rust cars to fully restore if desired.

- hope the super 8 finds a good home as the interior is still sharp; bet it needs a mechanical overhaul though.

- "thousan' bucks come n get it"

- "five hunnid bucks come n get it"

- I'm betting a teenager bought that 1917 as a used car in the early 30's or so for $20, realized it couldn't keep up on the highway (even by 30's standards) while at the same time got 6 MPG, and drove it into the woods when he was tired of it. Maybe the rest of it is "still there" under 90 years of detritus. Those are rare enough that even if you were to part one out in the past 50 years you wouldn't dump the whole front clip into the woods, including the rare zinc carb and radiator. If it was just a block, then sure, but it's practically the whole chassis. In addition, with how pinholed all the metal is, it's clearly been out there a long time.

Edit, from the 1917 guy: "the engine and trans have immence vallue". Maybe someone should message him and see what he'd actually want as he doesn't want to give me a number. (I'm just curious.) I told him it's worth scrap value plus 100 bucks. Considering it looks like it was buried up to the vibration dampener, I'd like to know if anyone here would materially disagree with that appraisal. (Engine view for reference.)
