I've seen some big restoration bills in my day---recently $160K on a Mercedes 280SL (still not done) and $300K on an old Ferrari (still not done).
Speaking of that project car, I had it out yesterday, and I notice what seems like more blow-by out of the dipstick area than I have noticed in the past. The car has been out on the highway and I drove it spiritedly in town, which may explain it, but it seemed more apparent. I hope that doesn't bode too unwell.
Pic of the car from yesterday, a S550 cabrio pulled up beside me, which made for a fun comparison, also, the color of the sky works with the color of the car:
Convertible Top With Factory Air and no issues?
T Tops x 2 and a shed full of parts.

I can just see my car "restored" in orange with a billet steering wheel and a SBC under the hood.
Although thinking of engines, the 4 cyl diesel in the Bluetec is almost exactly the same displacement, but 50% or more hp, and probably thrice as much torque. A modern MB I6 would be heading for triple the hp, that would be a unique resto-mod.

Knock knock! Who's there? Orange! Orange who? Orange you glad it's 1975 again?
Selling a 1 of 1 Trans Am with a 455 HD. Once restored this car can sell for 75,000 to 175,000.
Orange you sorry it's not a Super Duty?
Of course they are geared so low that taking your foot off of the gas is nearly enough to stop!
I thought one of you guys might snap it up!
Make a smooth ride to San Francisco for sure!
As for the T--remember, you are talking about a car 100 years old!
Shipping the car to London, welcome to Craigslist! If a legit foreign buyer wants it, they can arrange their own shipping and have it picked up at your house, after you have the cash of course.
I saw your ad, isell - you need some pics
RE: Model A going faster:
Yes, you could buy one of these, hopefully with a free life insurance policy attached:

To somewhat tie 2 of your car ad's together. My dad had 2 Things at the same time, both the color of that Mercedes.
In 1979 my cousin and his wife bought a Dodge conversion van for full sticker around $18K. I drove it once and it was just a van. With orange paint, black stripes captain's chairs and shag carpet. We called it the great pumpkin.
I hope the car gets preserved, but there is no way in hell anyone is going to come out ahead on this. You could possibly patch up the floors, slather them with goop, replace missing pieces, try to work up the paint as best you can, spiff up the interior here and there, get it running well and just enjoy it as it is.
Or maybe put 15K in it, make it sound and roadworthy, and have a nice sunny day driver.
Nice color anyway, and it has the correct color code on the body tag.

Honestly, the information is out there to make intelligent decisions on classic cars.
So there you go. Good luck at $40K.
