Selling '51 Hudson Hornet 4dr

[Deleted User]
edited January 2014 in HUDSON
I'm not real excited about letting this go but I'm buying a new home this spring and it's a bit of a "fixer upper". I feel it's best to eliminate some of my automotive projects so I can focus attention on the house/move/family.

The car is a '51 Hudson Hornet 4dr with a single carb 308 and manual transmission. The underside and perimeter frame are solid. Great foundation but it this is definitely a big project. I collected a bunch of parts for this project and would like it all to go in a single deal. Some of the extra parts include: '55 308 twin-H motor and auto trans, '53 308 single carb motor and auto trans, complete set of doors (4), spare front fenders, complete front subframe assembly with suspension and a bunch more. It's all here in Norfolk VA and I'd like to get $4400 for everything but I'm completely open to reasonable offers. I'm not online much so if your interested, your best bet is to call or text me at 7five7-6four2-701nine. Chris.

    MY SISTERS BOY IS LOOKING FOR A STEP/DOWN SEDAN YOU DIDN'T SAY ANY THING ABOUT IF IT RUNS AND DRIVES AND THE EXTRA ENGINES DO THEY TURN OVER OR RUN ?
  • Sorry for the delay but as I stated above I'm not online much nor am I excited about having to do this. Here is some more information that I hope proves helpful.

    Car is pretty complete but does not run or drive. Perimeter frame and floors are solid-Texas car. Trunk is pretty good but does have a strip of rust down the center. The interior needs total restoration. All flat glass is damaged. Comes with a replacement front windshield. Rear window intact. Typical rotten gas tank. Sure it's a big project but a worthwhile one. I've brought back much worse and picked this up because it has solid bones. Unfortunately my situation has changed and I will not have the time or space right now and don't want it to sit. My phone number is listed above and I'm happy to entertain offers. Here is a list of the extra spare parts that come with the car (I’m sure I have forgotten some):

    ’55 Twin H 308 motor with all accessories and auto transmission
    ’52 308 motor with all accessories (single carb) with auto trans
    I got both these motors as complete take outs and haven’t messed around with either- assume each needs rebuild. When the weather gets better or if we get a decent warm day, I’ll try to turn them over.

    Driver side front door- complete with all hardware
    Driver side rear door- complete with all hardware
    Passenger side front door- complete with all hardware
    Passenger side rear door- complete with all hardware

    Front subframe with front suspension (I’d like to keep this for a future project but will let it go the buyer has to have it)

    Hood- rust through along front lip
    Trunk lid
    Driver side fender
    Passenger side fender

    ’55 Hornet split bench front seat (needs to be reupholstered but still has padding and fabric)
    ’52 Hornet bench seat (needs to be reupholstered, pretty much just the springs)

    Steering Column- manual
    Complete dash w/ instrument cluster, glove box door, ashtray, radio

    Stainless trim from a ‘52

    Extra set of headliner bows

    ’52 rear window glass
