re: #103 Blind Frog Belly White

If you do, it’ll likely be like the Morgan Peter Egan wrote about in Road & Track a few years back. The guy was asking $4500. Every single part of it needed replacement, but the owner kept saying, “Yeah, you can get that from this or that supplier.”

At the end, the owner asked ‘Well, what do you think?’

Egan said, “Everything needs replacing, except the steering wheel. It’s a NICE steering wheel, but it’s not a $4500 steering wheel.”

The $4,500 was for the original title and name plates, etc. Then when he rebuilds a totally new old Morgan from new replacement parts he can say it has all the ID and history.

I’ve heard some pretty good stories about the vintage car market.
