Default Re: 1930 Roadster on ebay. Thoughts please.

Agree with Potvin8, having resuscitated a 50 year storage vehicle, everything needs to be gone through before use. A lot of work, Could be full of oil sludge, distributor rusted in. I see the effects of seepage from the head - could just need a re-toruqe, or may have leaked into the cylinders at one time or during storage. I do like the car, has character/patina. but to make sure it is reliable a ton has to be looked with possible tons of repair/work to make an every day reliable driver. Also if tire/tubes are 40 years old you have that replacement cost.
