Its actually a Brougham, but that's just as good, IMHO.

I got an email from the guy; not much rust, hasn't been started in about a year. He says it needs to be gone through before operation. I'm looking for a Wasp bro-ham project so I'm waiting for more pictures from the seller, but 7300 seems kinda high. What do you guys trhink?

It might be worth the asking price if it doesn't need much work. Even the best pictures can be deceiving and a seller's opinion of a car's condition and operation may not be in-line with reality. Use caution if buying sight unseen.

I agree. I'm still of the 4-5K mindset, I guess. But, hey, if it's really good and rust free and doesn't take much to get it going, just might be worth it. Kinda rare model, 2 door, which is a plus. Big questions: how much rust in frame and/or floor and trunk pans, how complete (interior included), how much is the buyer going to be into for mechanical repairs?



Just thinking out loud, folks.

Looks more like a $2500-3500 to me needs everything for a proper restro, but hey you never know, a good car wash might change my thinking. LOL

I like the 4-5k mindset too, but that doesn't seem to buy much of a Hudson these days. I think that in addition to condition, value depends on how rare a model the car is. On more common models, there's more of a chance to find a restored example for a reasonable price. If you want a less common model, sometimes you just have to be prepared to pay the price.

Looking at recent eBay ads I think this car is worth $25-30,000 :rolleyes::D
