Description:

1951 Hudson Hornet 4 door automatic car. Do your research, this is a very rare car. It is in fair shape and very repairable. A perfect car to customize.
Some Good Highlights:
I would guess it at around 80-85% complete. The dash is complete and unmolested.It is a Radio Delete model.I have most of the inside door trim.The engine is complete, including the air cleaner! It also turns freely. I used marvel mystery oil to help it remain that way (A full rebuild would still be needed).
The Bad Highlights:
It has frame rot in the rear passenger area. It should be easily fixed, but it will take some work.Front lip of the hood is rotting. It will need rebuilt, or replace the entire hood.The floor pans are all rotted out and mostly removed.I have the front and rear seat frames/springs, but they aren't in great shape. Probably best to consider the fronts as useless.None of the windows are salvageable. It appears someone used them for target practice.Driver side front door striker is not there. The door has to be tied shut at the moment. I have a broken striker that will go with it if you want to try to have one recreated.The brake shoes and hardware have been removed as they were completely frozen. One drum was badly rotted away from sitting in dirt. The car does roll, just won't stop on it's own now.All in all, it's a great car with a lot of potential, if you have the time and for it. If the Buy It Now is used, I have a few extra spare parts that will be thrown in. Including a complete 1952 Engine/Auto Transmission combo, a 1954 Automatic transmission, and some other parts.
It will also be sold with a Bill of Sale. $300 non-refundable deposit required within 2 days of auction end. Contact within 1 week of the auction end to discuss the pickup details. I can hold the car for a little while, but would like it picked up as soon as possible. If neither of those are met, I will be forced to relist the car.
I think it goes without saying, but this is sold as is.
Please feel free to ask questions. I can supply more pics if necessary and attempt to answer all the questions to the best of my ability.
