Steve
I agree with Stephen and his thoughts which he shares with most Durant owners. Look over the cars real well, and particularly any wood in the body. If it's rotten then just be aware that that is a lot of work to fix and there are no patterns available, so you'd have to use your old wood for patterns. If you dive into these, then the first thing you must do is join the DMAC. Like Stephen said it's a fantastic club loaded with great people who can provide great assistance too on any restoration. Many have restored their cars and kept them running and you can learn from their experience. You also have to plan on how much restoration you want to do. If you want a show car or a driver. Realize that unless your capable of doing a lot of the work yourself, to restore one of these to show condition could be a six figure endeavor if you just send it to a restoration shop and say "restore" it. But much of it you can do yourself and it's really worthwhile to fix these up and keep them on the road since they are approaching 100 years old. If you want to send me some pictures, I can give you my thoughts a bit further.

I looked at the pictures that Bob was able to post; I don't know if you're used to looking at projects of this vintage, but these look like great candidates to restore. Please don't ever think you'll "make any money" on these. Even if can't do all of the work yourself (which no one can), you'll lose money. But you just might have fun, especially when you fire it up for the first time! Good luck.

Agree Ross two good candidates to restore the 1930 Standard 614 sedan and 1929 60 coupe.

Thanks for the opinions and information on these cars. I am passing on the purchase because of the amount of work needed. I already have two other thirties cars and wanted one of these because they are never seen around where I live. Thanks again for the responses!
