    I would think that if you believe for $1800 you could drive a hudson home, you might need a few more weeks in the hobby.

    Gotta go with that noted father- son team, H'Kid and H'Dad, on this one- I think it's kinda worth the money (subject to looking at the frame, of course).
  • Maybe I'm ougta it guys, but alltho it's a very desirable model there just is'nt much left of it and what is is in terrible condition. I've seen much better for that $$$

    The question isn't whether this one is worth $1,800. The question is could you buy one for $5-6,000 and only have to spend another couple of grand getting it prettied up and on the road? The answer to the second question is: yes. :cool:
  • Kid,



    I know I can drive it home it has holes in the floor boards and I have strong legs.
  • looks like he's 250 miles or so from me , this is the second go around on ebay . Ive been debating about making him an offer for it , heck I need another basket case coupe to keep my others company . - really it looks like a better deal than the Hudson -Merc coupe on ebay for $3000 !!!

    today, I find that hard to believe. I much doubt there are any coupes out there for reaosnable money. The exception was the 52 wasp that was on a while back (eBay) that was the best deal for any car all year long.
  • Well, at least the steering wheel looks pretty good..... from a distance!

    Not a bad price



    Looks like nice rockers also. I would bet the frame is good telling by the rockers.



    The days of finding a coupe for $5000 that has decent paint and upholstery then putting a couple of thousand into it are over. The $5000 coupe is now $15,000



    Believe my father just sold a 54 coupe that is solid needed one new rocker which we supplied. It needed everything and sold for $5000 was Little more complete.

    I don't disagree, Russ...I was talking about creating a starting point car that could be driven.

    I'm with you Sam, It would have to be a lot more rare than it is to justify bringing it back. But, from a parts point of view. There are some nice usable parts there--but, most likely not $1,800 worth?
