Check out the seat inserts they should be Marie Nichols (Laguna Cloth) and the engine looks to have early KF paint not 1953 color, has the engine been out of the car? maybe thats why they only want 9+ for it.

The fuel pump on this Dragon is on the rear of the block. This engine or block is older than the car,1947 or 1948 probably.

Good catch RIALTO, I only noticed the engine paint was not too attractive and never saw where the fuel pump was. Still seems like a good deal on a handsome car but its in CANADA and there is probably a costly import fee to bring it across the border.

It is a nightmare to ship unless you latch on to a freight forwarding company with experience moving antique vehicles across the border.  They will handle customs forms, get the car cleared through US Customs and make arrangements for shipment within the United States, just like those companies who move our engine blocks from Windsor and St. Catherines across to Tonawanda and other points along the GM compass.

I do not know about importing cars into the US, but it is not that big a deal to bring most 15+ year old US vehicles into Canada, there are no import charges just sales taxes from what I am told by guys who have done it. Henry
