This is a nice car for the price. Wow I wonder why no reserve. 41 coupe is a rare beast. Looks in good original condition for a nice resto. Its rough but would make a nice project.

| Nice car. I like the business coupes, all flavors except that fugly Dodge Wayfarer. This looks like a great project, and within driving distance for you Dave.

Exactly Dave these cars came out at a somber time in world history and the colours for 41 and especially 42 were very subdued that chocolate brown was popular and shades of it were sold by all manufacturers.
yeah this is nice I like unmolested cars best.

No offense, but I wouldn't drive to the end of the road to see this. Somber is one thing, ugly is another. It does have originality on its side though.

| Use that as a base, scuff it good and shoot a heavy copper pearl clear over it. It would make that jump to life, in a conservative sort of way. That coupe with a later hotrod motor- Twin H setup and headers would be cool as hell, and very driveable.

Yeah I have the engine for that on a stand on my garage a nice 7X street mild with Twin H fit in there nicely and blow most of the resto rods off the street. That and a eight track player blasting out Steely Dan and I would be set.....Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet
