    It would be a bargain at 75K, even in the current market.

    I talked to this guy and he says he does not know what it is worth, i think he has it on ebay just to get the feel of values only

    Big numbers already and a week to go... too late to get it for Christmas.

    My guess is $96,000.00

    He knows what it's worth to him.

    WOW, That's BEAUTIFUL!

    Correct me if I'm wrong...that's Photoshop, not the blue wrench?

    If he is selling this, and perhaps other cars, to buy his dream car; I wonder what his dream car is? I consider his convertible one of my dream cars.....

    Yup, a 52 Hornet Convert is definately one of my dreamers.

    It sold ($62 K) to a gentleman in his town (Star, Idaho.) By the way, his dream car was an Aubrun Boattail....
    I would take either one or both.....

    Well, then I can understand. Only trouble is, 62K is not going to get him an Auburn boattail in any condition.

    Russell, I expect that we will see other of his nice stash of Hudson's available for sale in the near future? He is a long time Hudson Collector. When the snow ments and the hope of Spring is in the air I will head up that was and check it out...

    At least, not a real one.
    I'd still rather have the Hudson. You can drive a Hornet convertible across the country without the worry of destroying or depreciating a museum piece. You'll turn at least as many heads in the process because no one will think it's a kit. God forbid if you would get in a wreck with the Auburn... there are no sources for repair parts.

    Agreed! 100%
