Default Re: Old cars

I watched the B-J auction to see how stock cars were faring. I saw a 1940 Plymouth 4 door that was nicely restored to stock with a "301 " engine. I'm not a mopar fan, but I think they were 201 cid. Very few stock cars other than Porsche, Ferrari, Rolls etc. Mostly a display of how we can destroy a 30's or 40's car with a new, better chrome plated engine.

You can check the results for "stock" or semi-stock personalized cars.
For example this '38 personalized 4dr convertible.

And the '40 stock Plymouth with the erroneous "301" engine.
