opinions about Speedway's '32 lo-boy?
Hello, I'm new at this, so please bear with me. Sorry if this is the wrong place to make a first post.
I have an opportunity to buy an unfinished project that seems to be a pretty good deal. But I'd like to get some expert advice, or at least opinions.
The project car is a Speedway Motors '32 lo-boy. It's a running car (needs a new fuel pump) but isn't quite done. It's got a fresh Ford 302 with a C4 and a 9" rear. Drive train and suspension is done. Wheels and tires are bad. There's no interior and it needs to be painted. No body work at all yet. Just bare gel-coat. The thing's been sitting for 6 years.
This wouldn't be my first choice for a rod. But it seems like something I could finish up and make a little money on. The price is very reasonable. I just don't know what the potential resale value would be. I'd like to run around in it this summer, sell it and make some cash for my Model A sedan.
Any thoughts? What's the potential for a Speedway kit? I haven't found any for sale to gauge this on.
Again, sorry if this is the wrong place for my first post.
