This dealer is surely well-named, but the car is a right lovely piece.
God's Peace to you.

There's some dispute about its authenticity...
But who would complain about owning such a jewel?

One reason why the price is high is that this car has run Monterey for a bunch of years, and it's THE vintage event in the US. They are very picky about who can enter but I think it's a little less so for pre-war cars and also this car is owned by Martin Swig who organizes the California Mille and has a lot of (well deserved) "pull. Here's another car he owns http://www.tamsoldracecarsite.net/PreWar1.html

You have to admire guys that spend the big bucks for a racer then risk it all somewhat by racing them.I guess I'm jealous.  Many of the names listed I saw race at the Glen or the old Bridgehampton track as a teenager. It's nice to see them still active.

Leif, too bad you didn't call that guy I put in contact with about the 323. It was rebuilt and just left sitting, ready to run, sold for $200.

Rats!
I hate to hear that. Even with freight to the left coast it would be cheap, but my house is being remodeled (they are lifting it to fix the foundadtion) and I just can't do anything at the moment. Hopefully it won't be the last one ever.

Walter P and his successors installed that big inline eight in "big Chryslers" and Imperials through 1950, as i recall, so there should be at least one left for you . . . and two or three or nine for "parts."
God's Peace to you.
