Hard to understand that. What's with the camshaft? Wire wheels on these cars were pretty rare out of the 105 produced. I think that would be a "road car."

An easy restoration, will buff out like new....

Provided you have a few 100K to do it...

Somewhat better off than that poor GT40, but still pretty sad :(

In 1978 I passed up a perfect example of this car because it's leather interior needed refurbishing. Asking price was $15,000 -- reasonable for the time, but still a lot of money for me. Woulda, shoulda, coulda.

Its a Mercedes, put some fresh gas, plugs and a battery and it should fire right up.

4 1956 Chevrolets... and a Chevy cabover...

So, yes, 'mostly' GM cars. :)


Wonder what the story is....

This gem pulled up next to me at a light last night. Sad, but not abandoned. Yet.

^^^^^ a good ending actually - someone bought the whole deal just like it sits and completely restored the rig and the cars. There's a few pics out there on the interwebs of the project- it was very nicely done.
