Title: 1954 Kaiser Darrin
Post by: joefrazer on October 03, 2018, 06:54:30 PM

Looks like a lot of the hard work has been done. Of course, the doors still need mounted and aligned so there are challenges ahead.

Where is the windshield?   There is still quite a bit of work that needs to be done, the dash paint is all cracked and peeling.   Very Raw!!!!   Rust on Dash gauges, horn ring and mirror I assume are some where else!!

Several things look pretty good. I don't know if it's worth 70k as it sits without looking first hand, but you could put quite a bit into a Darrin without getting upside down.

Wow...that’s a work of art compared to mine currently! Great start for someone!

70K might be a bit too high but it is a place to start talking. Too bad pictures of the chrome and other bits were not included - that might help someone pull the trigger.

Definitely a car worth personal inspection.

A lot for that car but it does help other Darrin owners. Makes our cars potentially worth more. If that car brought 70 then a restored car may still bring big bucks. The market has been a little soft lately. I will be selling a fully restored pine tint green Darrin in about a year hope the market is good then.
