Well Ross it seems by your response that you hold no real value in this car. I was under the impression that this group was about preserving these Durants, but I guess no matter where you go on the internet you always seem to find the guy that holds more value in the $20 bucket seats than the 90 year old antique.
Well, I think our cars have some value, but the market has spoken, and you would have to look far and wide to find a Durant that would crack the 30k barrier, restored to perfection. Who can explain VW 23 window buses going for over $100,000.00? Have they ever driven one? To make money you need to find the 'flavor of the month' and the right buyers. Ross
As I told Gary, my intention for the car is to get it in the hands of someone that will preserve it for what it is. I realize that it's a rare car, possibly the only one here in the states. However I'm not trying to get rich off of it.
I came here with it first to give somebody the opportunity to save it from being hot rodded, and it may be the last chance. A rod guy like myself would probably pay more than a restorer honestly. Meaning an auction would probably put the purist out. My number on it is $4500.
