First off welcome aboard.I believe the number you pictures are showing is the casting number which would make it a 1928 engine but from what I can see from your pictures the car may be earlier than that. Do you have any other info or pictures?Moose
The frame and springs look to be pretty heavy duty plus the frame appears to be cracked and patched which might indicate some hard usage such that a truck might experience. The radiator shell looks to have a different profile than any Chevy that I'm familiar with the top inner corners of the opening being more rounded that the of the typical Chevy style through the years plus what appears to be some sort of louver system to control air flow through the radiator . Also from what I can see in the pictures it looks like the engine mounts could have been fabricated to accommodate the Chevy engine . So what does this all mean? Possible export or limited production vehicle or one that was fabricated from bits and pieces from some other make with the addition of a Chevy badge to represent the engine. Got me stumped. Be sure to let us know what you come up with.Moose
how much is it worth in this state and how much would it cost to restore it ?
Quotehow much is it worth in this state and how much would it cost to restore it ? There’s never a good answer to those questions…. It’s all relative. The value is affected by a number of factors but is usually mostly influenced by the basic law of supply and demand. If everybody wants one and you have the only one then it might be worth a lot of money and if the opposite is true then the value would be far less. Add to this things such as historical significance or sentimental value and the answer becomes even more clouded. In the case of your vehicle where we really don’t even know for sure what it is I don’t think I could even give you a good ballpark answer. As for the cost of restoration we have a similar situation. How rare and available are parts, will you do the work yourself or do you have to sublet it, do you want a show car or just a fun car. Those are the things that I take into consideration when I’m trying to come up with an idea of what a project will cost or to set a budget and even then I find that most of the time I’m still not very close to my estimate when the project is finished. For me It’s usually a labor of love and the monetary considerations are secondary. Moose
