I use to put Models like that Willys together as a kid! Always loved that body design!

I once heard Craig Jackson of Barrett-Jackson fame talk about vehicle value when it came to customized vehicles. When asked he said that what one person thinks is beautiful and expensive, maybe junk to the next. He went on to say that valuing a vehicle you need to take what you have invested into “your” pet project, and throw it out the window, because you built that vehicle to make yourself happy and not the next person. You may have one hundred thousand dollars invested but the vehicle may only return a quarter of that. That’s the way I feel about some of the cars and trucks in today’s video. Especially the 1951 Dodge custom truck. It might have been worth half the asking price if he hadn’t butchered it up with his idea of a custom.

@@Americanrodshop WooHoo!!! Can't wait.

That Mercury lead sled, is awesome and not a bad price. The 56 Belaire is a pretty good price too. That 51 Dodge pickup, is butt ugly ... chevy powered? Way over priced in my opinion. The rat rod, is cool .... but that price is kind of up there ... the rat rod pickup is nice but ... to me the interior throws off the concept of a rat rod. Way out of my budget, but I love the 33 Plymouth, but even if I had the funds, I would not buy a MOPAR that is Chevy powered ... that's just me. I always wanted a Volvo ... but the chop screws it up. I had a friend in high school that built one stock, with a 430 Lincoln ... it moved! 66 sport fury is great ... not a bad price.

Great job Solon. Yes, your favorite rat rod was my favorite also The 1930 Plymouth is awesome. I wish they would have spent a little more and put a Mopar engine in it. Big Daddy Don Garlits, Mongoose and Snake proved you can have a very fast and rad looking Mopar motor.

My cousins’s neighbor raced a 1956 Chevy stock car on an oval short track back in 1975 and he would park it in his driveway and I just sit there and stare at that body style on the car and that’s when I fell in love with those 56 models myself!

Always look forward to seeing your vids. Frankly I wouldn't spend a dime on most all these cars, nothing personal. I'm just an old fart on short money. My 1st car was a 58 Chevy. I've had a 55,57,58,62,63,69Z28,87Z,88z I currently own, 78 El Camino I currently own as well as an 81 F150, Plus various and sundry this and that. My dream car, a 1956 Chevy. Working on the money. Frankley if I die 5 minutes after owning one, well what the crap. Life sucks then you die as Myself and my Vietnam buddies used to say.

The only car I feel that is worth anywhere near the asking price is the 1930 custom Plymouth street rod. To be able to compete in SEMA, you have to build an extremely high quality vehicle. The builder of this car probably has a quarter of a million invested in materials and time and labor in it. I would offer $75K and if he balked I’d walk.
