For racing... that's why they'll put the original body on a mustang or Camaro chassis with new brakes and trans, motor and all. There are guys who will buy a completely original car and will rod it because they'll have a straight clean body. They won’t do it to a 10K+ car, they'll find one for less at an auction and then destroy them. I saw a beautiful 1941 Ply coupe bought at an auction for less then 6k... it was all original, could have won a trophy as is... the guy was going to rod it!:rage: What a shame!
I see so many vintage cars in the classifieds that are 50% original... they'll have some original parts but, have those nasty aftermarket tilt steering wheels and bucket seats... bla, bla, ba... asking 30K Whatever jokers!
Sorry to deviate from the original thread topic... say, I saw a very nice Coke Machine here... that's a sweet one!!! Also, I hope to own a very clean late 30's woody juke some day and also a nice early Coke machine! That would be so fun to have for parties and just to have around when friends come over! I would charge nickels too.
