Sure its a big number, but I think that car has history.
The 60s show stuff is way cool

Just had a look at the EBay listing & its pretty wild.
There was an article on Dan Woods recently in The Rodders Journal & he did incredible stuff at a very young age. Its hard to get a C Cabs proportions right & he seems to have nailed it first time out.
I have a spare T chassis, set up for a BBC and glide, and a spare cowl, and a pikky sent to me by Debgeo, (his avatar) so when the T coupe is done (next month Im hoping), then I may try to build something on the cheap using the stuff I already have in the shed.

Is it me or is $150K an awful lot of money? I know history adds some value but that's got to be a lot of history. Just wondering....

The likes of Jay Leno will snap that one up, you can't build that car for less, unless many parts are donated... and lots of free help... I know, been there and done that.. There are way too many fellows out there that make more money in a week than most of us will ever make... remember that there is an ass for every seat... ride safe

Thats the great thing about Tees. No two are identical, and you can built whatever pushes your button.
and that C Cab, tho priced waaay out of my budget, pushes mine. :lol:
and when I think it was built by a teenager back in the 60s I am in awe of it.

That body would be great on a street chassis, that show car chassis would not last any time on the street... But it will look GREAT sitting in someone's car collection...Any person that says they would not want it for any money, has no money, at least not enough to buy that Show car... :lol:

I recently had the "Billet-T" appraised for insurance purposes, by semi-retired rod builder Branden Uhlieg. I found that uniqueness, provenance and history, carry a lot of weight in appraisals. Estimated collector's value is $125,000.
Branden will have a 1941 Plymouth coupe with twin turbo 1750hp under the hood, on the cover of several hot rod rags this fall. He built it for a friend of mine, from his dad's original steel body car that sat in the weather for 25yrs. He has over $150,000 invested so far.
