I would love a 51 coupe to go with my 51 sedan. Work seems pretty low end on this car.

Then you'd have twin Twin-H's. For a starting bid of $15k, this car should be crsip, clean and correct.

Yes chrome looks iffy or maybe just dust. The rear profile of the car the paint shows shadows that I am not happy with. Looks like bad body work.

Is the underside of the hood undercoated? Shocked

For a starting bid of $15k, a trip to the details shop, a set of WWLS and a few bucks for some repro lables/decals should have crossed their minds. And why is there a 2x4 under the rear tire? You stage houses for a quick and (hopefully) profitable sale, so why not cars?

Yes its undersealed which is never a good idea with the engine heat.

And for 15K opening bid I expect that to have new WW's

If it's bituminous based, things will get ugly when it gets hot, melts, drips, and ignites. Are those jumper cables I see on the battery? I wonder what the original body color was.

New WWs are a must. For an opening bid of $15k, I'd like to hear specifics about exactly what was repaired, replaced and rebuilt.
