Yes, E-man, buy it. There is a way more than $4800 in that car. After you cut a couple of feet off of the stabbers out the front you will have a nice car.
I have an upper dash cover for you.

I would have to let go of two or three projects in the lineup now to consider this but is probably more practical.

Good looking coupster. Sits too high in back, tires look too short.
What's up with the hay forks up front? Kinda goofy.
Looks like a good frame.

I was thinking the frame extensions were to support a long saltflat streamliner
nose?
Really strange they weren't removed before putting up for sale.

Looks like more parts and labor than 3800. you could always beat him up on the price a little. I'v got a sawzall, portaband, torch and a plasma cutter. I could fix the frame rails.

I say go for it, if you don't build it you could sell it and make a few bucks!

If i actually get it there will be a contest to guess what they are for

I agree, would't take much to get it a little farther along to make it more marketable.

I am pretty sure you could not buy the parts for the price. Also suspect that you can get it cheaper.
It almost looks like the body was an afterthought. [S Like maybe it was originally for something else. Race car???

That makes more sense, body and engine

Once again, I think Dr C is onto something there!

I think the mystery is solved. I love the chassis and wheels but not the body so much and definitely not the engine.

I'll never understand why people cut the roof off a coupe.

A 1939 chevy coupe runs around here with cut-off roof, so one day l asked why he did that.
a tree fell thru the car side to side and was to fouled up to fix, so he hacked it off and cleaned up the areas needed to be cappped & filled around the rear window area & the tops of the doors and it looks 0K, good thing is it was far enough back in the roof area that the windshields and cowl/frame and along the edge of the roof survived and was structurally sound to do this conversion .[
