    Well, there are "different" people in the world, and as surprising as it may seem they think differently than we do. It's kinda like that Shelby Mustang I put up a short while ago gettin' hacked into a street racer/hot roddy kind of thing. When you got the bucks you do what you want. There's a lot of guys that say paying what Brookville asks for a body is crazy!

    Perhaps the seller heard about the original '32 roadster that SoCal recently got done doing all the body work on. Took almost one man year of labor (probably not 100% of the time though) as it was in worse shape than this one. I think their shop rate is somewhere around $90/hr..............do the math. Some people really do prize "originality", however they define it.

    I'll bet at that B-J deal the words "I couldn't have one restored for that price" were uttered.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I'd forgotten about this, but this is the same body that was listed in Feb with not bids; http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...9887&rd=1&rd=1
    There's a fair geographic distance between Porterville, and Burbank. Wonder if it's the same guy?
