This looks like a great car. Everything is done all you have to do is put an engine in it. If I did not have so many projects on the go I would jump at this as I have engines and tranny's. Heck Randy will even supply an engine and tranny if you want.

Randy is a good guy so you know you are getting a straight deal.

looks very fine, but with an engine and transmission said 20000-25000$

Sean,
Why if this car was a Albright winner, would he take the engine out and offer this car without? Because it was a 7X engine and he decided to keep it? You would think it would be worth more with matching #`s or the dealer installed 7X. Art

He took the engine out and sold it. Guess someone needed a 7X engine and they were willing to sell it. They build a lot of Hudsons.

Plus he can build you another 7X engine. Randy it a good guy who moves lots of projects and cars.

I would buy this in a heartbeat and load one of my 7X engines into it if I didn't have 5 projects already. Engine work is easy the interior and painting take the time.

That makes sense. Imagine, the same motor winning 2 Albright Awards, interesting. What do you think this car will go for and what is a rebuilt 7X worth these days?

Rebuilt 7X motor is worth between 7-10K

I would think they want 15K or more for the car as is. A stock motor would set you back another 5K and AT tranny maybe 1k rebuilt so not bad deal to make great car that will increase in value.
