I am in agreement with Bluecar on this. Like most guys a price of 66K (reserve not met) requires a closer look. Some of the things I see "suspect" is one of the under-dash gauges is a fuel gauge. Which could only mean that the original dash gauge and sender are either absent or inoperative. There appears to be a couple of brackets that prevent the seat back from being lifted up. I may be wrong but don't all '36 coupes have a lift-up seat back? The engine wiring and a 12 volt battery in the middle of the trunk? Obviously, this is not a "rat rod" and yet it is not exactally a "perfect" car as the seller calls it. For most of us 66K+ is serious money. Unfortunately, reckless bidding which seems to be going on here creates an inflationary mind-set which is hurting the entire hobby short term and long term. JMO
