The car's only $25,000 - the swamp cooler, a very, very rare accessory is $100,000!!!!!! :silly:
Hope he likes that car - I really think he's going to own it for a while.

My first impression is to pick out all the things that are wrong with this car (and there are a bunch--what is with all that crap on the dash?) but I would like to think that I am better than that (I'm not!). With that said, I will get on one of his cards in his trunk. He shows the top speed of the car as 150mph. That is a misnomer. In 1952 a sedan much like this was raced at the Bonneville Salt Flats and set a record of 121 mph on a double run. nuff said...... One more cheap shot... Fair market value for this car is around #18,000.0

They're just fishin', I'm sure.0
-
I sent them an offer of $5K.... maybe they get the hint.0
-
I especially like the incredibly detailed description:
"52 Hudson Hornet, 4 door 2 tone grey/silver. Show quality, original interior and features"
What further information would you need to shell out $125,000?0 -
Wow! Just wow... You'd think for $125K they could at least have the carb heat
shields installed properly.:huh:0 -
In addition to the swamp cooler, you get a CB radio, 150 mph top speed and $50,000 in buyer protection. What could go wrong? :P0

I love these goof's that call a car "All Original". Looking at the photo
of the motor compartment show's it clearly ain't.
8 -volt battery
Polished or chrome head
Chrome air cleaners
Braided wire coverd radiator hose with temp, sensor
Red painted radiator
Some odd red voltage regulator
Far cry from an All Original car ! !0 -
None. Especially with the photos of all of the show placards.cpr3333 wrote:I especially like the incredibly detailed description:

Other than the spark plug wires and coil, is there anyything under the hood that is the correct (or original anyway) color or finish?0 -
That was my point , stuff just jump's out at you soon as you see a photo.
You are Right,It would be easier to say what was correct on the car.

I understood your point and was hoping you'd elaborate.
Is there anything under the hood that is the correct (original) color or finish?
I'm no expert but I'm learning and it all looks wrong to me.0 -
Carborator, exhaust manifold and windshield bottle washer are about the only things that I can see that are correct. Just one or two other points, I am not sure I have seen Twin H with the 145 Head? Could be wrong with that one. I did notice that he is not using copper tubing in his gas line on his Twin H set up. Got to give him a point for that?0

This person has zero transactions on EBay so I am sure this is hoax post.
Really burns me as I was about to post my $900,000 54 sedan on there and this has now sullied the water. I do not have a swamp cooler on the window I have a complete home AC unit. Beats this for sure.0 -
what is that red coupler on the radiator hose ????0
-
Taking another look at Ad I am sure they meant $12,500 I bet they will change the Ad soon. I am hoping thats all it is.0

"JUST PLAIN NUTS!" This Hornet's located in Crystal Lake, IL which is very close to where I live in Palatine. I'm guessing that the "Twin H" intake manifold is not painted gold, but is "solid gold" which explains the high starting bid. Anyway, maybe I'll drive over and check this one out and also hand the owner a few recent issues of the WTN to perhaps help set him straight on a more realistic price.0
-
The price aside, "all original, show quality" is an oxymoron. And what part of that interior is original? The seat fabric surely isn't.0
-
I was just on E-bay and went back to look at it again.
oddly enough it seems to have been removed. Think he got
a few interesting comments on his ad?
I was going back to look at the horn .Earlier some one had ask him aquestion
about the horn being in the wrong place.
The guy told him it was'nt a horn it was a swamp cooler!
My guess is his Granfather died and he's selling all his stuff. Wanting to make a foutune on everything and going from memory of what Gramps told him about stuff.

It was still there for me.
Here is the Q&A you were talking about:
Q: Let me get this right...You want $125,000 for a car that dosen't even have the correct driver side horn oriented correctly .( BTW it's for the passenger side.) What kind of dope are you on????
A: I believe that you are referring to the swamp cooler.
To my untrained eye, it looks like he has two original style passenger side horns in addition to the aftermarket chrome horns.0 -
I am just waiting for the ink to dry on my new cards that list the top speed on my Hornet as 276.3 Mph I thought I should be precise as I was making up the number anyway. :woohoo:0
-
Mark 'em down and move 'em out!
Did he say $125,000? It can now be yours for only $65,000!

Stiil got a few more price reductions to go before he even gets a whiff of a serious bid on this car.0 -
65k... Is that all.... I want it now... Wonder if he would take a two party temporary check that's post dated? Haha!0
-
ALL ORIGIONAL? Keep me laughing! A '51 sales brochure amd odd ball cards, 8volt battery, look at the battery cables. Plus all the "origional" gauges and so on. Does not even mention how the car runs or drives. The guy must be smoking something we can not get out west. Arnie in Nevada 0 -
What is a reasonable price for this car? I'm not interested in buying it--only curious!!
JKilday0 -
We can thank Barrett-Jackson for all the foolish prices. People lose their minds after they've watched all the hoopla, bombastic bellowing :sick: , and posturing, he'd probably just seen a Shelby GT go for $300,000 and thought "oh boy, I can easily get $125,000 for pop's classic". Well now it's at $65,000. We all know what he will have to do to sell it.0

All kidding aside, it looks like it would be a pretty good driver with all the gadgets, and is in pretty good shape overall. Looks stock from 20 feet. And there are certain guys who like lots of bling- the chromed air cleaners would be a plus for some. So I'm thinking high teens or maybe 20K.0 -
I'M THINKING 17 -18 MYSELF0
-
IMHO $65,000 is a pretty good price...for 3 of them...:P0
-
Yes $65,000 is way out there still. That car if everything were
correct would be lucky to bring him $20,000.
After all it's "Just a Four Door Sedan ". If it were a convertible
that would be different. Guys cut these up to fix rusty coupes and rag top's.
