NOTE: This car has been sold to a gentleman who lives in Auburn, NY and is planning to fix it up. To learn more, read the discussion found at: http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/165183/kind-of-appalling#Item_24

I corresponded with this seller. Very easy communications. This car should and could be preserved as a survivor. Likely the very very low miles are correct. Its been in the family for many decades. If you restorers and preservationists don't pick this jewel up, he is going to sell it to the first hot rodder with cash and a torch to start cutting it up and at this price I'm surprised he still has it!

see the "kind of appalling" thread from a few days ago. the car has reportedly already been sold.

Sorry, before listing these H.A.M.B. cars here, I scrolled back through the Forum to see if they had been mentioned before, not wishing to repeat any listings. It never occurred to me to examine the discussion labeled "Appalling"!
