    Hi GRIZZZ

    Welcome to the forum and please don't take this wrong...

    I know some people don't like typing ;) But, we're trying to squeak some more information out of you to help you find a car!

    A Hudson stepdown can range in price from $500.00 for a rust bucket to $100,000+ for a convertible.

    So all we know right now is you're looking for a Stepdown-hot-rod-style build and willing to spend $0.00-$Infinity depending on condition :D

    So here's some more questions that may help narrow the search ...

    1. Besides Price range?
    2. Do you want the original drivetrain intact, with a Twin-H perhaps?
    3. you want one that has had a front sub-frame swap and is with modern running gear or somewhere in between?
    4. Do you want to work on the car - or are you looking for a "turn-key driver"
    5. Where are you located?
    6. Are you willing to pay for shipping or do you want something local.

    I WANT A HOT/ STREET ROD SOMETHING FINISHED OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED.

    WOULD LIKE NEWER SUSPENTION AND ENGINE.

    THE BODY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT I AM NOT A BODY MAN SO I WANT SOMETHING THAT IS NICE BODY AND PAINT SHINY OR SUEDE.

    COUPE OR SEDAN.

    PRICE DEPENDS ON THE CAR!

    I AM IN THE MID WEST AND WILL TRANSPORT IT FOR THE RITE CAR.

    THERE WAS A SILVER AND GRAY 4 DOOR ON EBAY 2 TIMES A YEAR OR SO AGO.

    WISH I COULD FIND THAT ONE!!!!!
  • There's always my 1949 stepdown 2 door - just put in engine, tranny, front clip, interior, gauges, wiring, nice wheels and tires and a great paint job and you're there!!!!

    No offense intended, but even if my Pacemaker hot rod was finished I'm not so sure I could sell it. Others may share the same emotional attachment to theirs. Even when I don't have time to play with it, just walking by and looking at it provides pleasure. There's just something about having a big ole cuddly Hudson in the shop that's tough to beat. I truely hope you find one.

    I have a 1951 Hudson Street Rod, Chopped, Dropped, Frenched and Louvered...Big Block 427, Cold A/C, a 15 year old restoration by Dick Dean "The Sultan of Chop"...originally built for Rick Driskell of the Band called The Units...
  • wow! Now that I like. What motor and tranny is in it? Can we see some interior shots?
  • oops I guess I should have looked up one thread first....very nice car.

    Just hang out on eBay or Craigs list, you will find something you like in a month or so....
  • I'll shoot some pics tomorrow on the interior and post them....
  • I'm not sure what you are looking for because a street rod is built the way the builder thinks his car should be or wants it to be. So to by a nice done one you just need to take your time and look for all the things that you like about what is out there.

    Here is one I built a few years ago and spent 10 years doing it. At that time I wanted a good looking sedan that was close to original, a resto rod. That had a good sound and could be driven and shown every where. The guy that has it now, Toney Allen in Fort Myers, FL, has it for sale. He was asking $98,000 but has come down to $70,000 and is taking offers now. This is about $1.00 an hour for the work I did on it, HA,Ha! I would consider selling my 34 convertable with the traailer and golf cart, but it would be around what he was asking for the sedan.



    Any way here is how to get in touch with him:

    Good luck and hope to see you all at 40th NSRA and 100th Hudson!

    Phew that is 1 tidy unit, I should have just paid the guy what he was asking for the sedan and would have saved 27 years and some bucks LOL
