Rare Desoto

Here is something you may never get a chance to see in person. This is a very rare '37 Desoto 4-dr convertible. The local yard owner's son purchased this from an estate here in MN and said something like only 426 of these were made. The deceased owner also had an unrestored Tucker that found a new home in Las Vegas.

Pretty cool!

nice! but how is he going to get parts for this car? i mean, our cars were one of the most popular in their time and still getting parts is PITA

Nice! I'd love to see it back on the road again!

I love those old MoPars!

Got to "My Site" for a link to my old MoPar.

my uncle has a 1937 chrysler imperial convertable. only 2 known to exist. Jay Leno offered him 150,000 for it 10-15 years ago (unfinished).

That looks like a car that should be restored by Jay Leno's crew, with un-limited funds, and not by some mediocre restoration outfit.

Owner of that has there hands full there.

This guy doesn't suffer from lack of funds. He just had a '66 Hemi 4-spd Charger restored. Oh, and I probably shouldn't be sharing this, but this family owned salvage yard was recently appraised and offered for sale for anyone who could come up with $16 Million Dollars! And you thought these yards weren't money makers....

a friend of mine bought a j-yard here in ohio for a million dollars. it has cars from the early 20's up to late 60's. he sold 2 duesanburgs? and some odds and ends got his money back Very Happy

I could see getting a business loan to help cover a million dollar investment. But, 16 million! That's sticking your neck way out on the line.

if the yard with 2 duessenbergs cost 1 million, i cant even imagine what that one for 16 million must look like Shocked
