I cannot begin to guess the $$ value of that car. Have read about it often. Don't get me wrong, I love driving my plastic version w/ two and half liters of displacement, and all that goes w/ that, but holy tin can, Batman, how cool would this very old aluminum car be?
sweet post Simon.
imagine the 38hp and cable brakes.
if you fly to 8 different cars around the world as homework on the resto...

Cory,
Like angela has said: "That car gives me wood." A sweet deal, no doubt, but very different than the hand-wrought aluminum jobbie Mr. Leno is oogling. Whole 'nuther universe.

No question, Kelly. But the 'C' has a four-cam in it.
Good lord, Cory, why don't you and Theresa just fly out here for the next Parts Obsolete campout? There's usually 3 or 4 of the 4-cammers show up and other stuff that would make you crazy (OK, crazier). Heck, last time I was there, TWO bent window convertibles drove in. No trailers, all these drive.
Fly into Medford, I'll loan you a car, we'll drive up and camp. We can see the Spruce Goose too if that flips yer switches. The air museum has great cutaways of aviation engines, too. You can crank some of them and see how they work in the cutaway.

Very nice. Thanks for posting.
Cory,
It is the 4-cam that is the part of all of this that does the wood thing, just BTW.

Kelly, I would have assumed that to be obvious -- you've known me long enough to realize I could care less what some ham-fist with a peening hammer and an English wheel is able to do to aluminum sheets, right? Hell, that car could look like an Avanti and I wouldn't notice. But drop that four-cam jobber in there, and you've got my attention. (Where's the good-natured sarcasm button?)
Not that there's anything wrong with Avantis, 'natch. I'm jus' sayin' ...
