    Makes the other stepdowns that were auctioned at the same time look like bargains.

    That was a top notch car from John Soneff. I'm hoping my 52 Hornet Club Coupe with a documented 7X engine will be worth alot more than that when done.....

    Even from the pics I saw, the car did look top notch. Please refresh my memory as to the official date that the factory released the 7X to dealers? Oh, and as far as your car is concerned, good luck. It's a roll of the dice when the right buyer will come along with pockets full of cash.

    The seller has an excellent reputation for quality. Couldn't tell you when the factory released the 7X ... you'll have to ask one of the many smarter members than me. There were a number of surplus 7X's in crates left after the merger with Nash. Mine was purchased new in a crate from a dealer in 1959. It is definately a roll of the dice finding the right buyer... supply and demand and marketing plays an important part aswell. Real 7 X's are truly a part of racing history.

    Of course, who hasn't heard of Soneff's Garage. If the 7X wasn't offered until 53, would it really have that much of an impact on value to a collector looking for a 100 percent "correct" vehicle. But, back in the day, the original owner of your car (or anyone for that matter) could have cruised into a Hudson dealer and had a 7X installed. As long as you're not in a hurry, keep trying until you get your value. If you look at RM auctions site, you'll see the same cars going around several times before they sell for what the owner wants.

    Yup. That's the beauty of the 7 X Hudson's. It was a dealer available item. As you mentioned, in 1953 or 1954 you could drive in with a 1952 Hornet (or almost any other stepdown) and get one installed or simply buy it over the counter. That makes it "correct" (if an original 7 X engine). John Soneff bought the one I acquired from him brand new in 1959. He put it in his 1949 convertible and drove it for years. He rebuilt in 1988. Engine has no serial number as it was never dealer installed.
