If you need engine parts for a Saab 2-stroke, you are really screwed, especially for a crankshaft. It will cost you a LOT of money to have one made for you (roller bearing cranks).

The first line of the ad reads a lot better than the second one.

I didn't know they did camper shells in 1925. Oh, and be sure to look at the rest of his 'treasures'

Lot's of pictures at the web site, but I don't think the owner looked at them.

Model T with a camper shell...would it have been so hard to make a wooden version that at least looks period correct?
 
VW looks nice in its own way, but overpriced by a good margin.
 
Studes...I'll take none of the three.

54 Chevy -- he chopped the top off his grandpa's Chevy 2-door hardtop? Off with his head!!!
 
69 Judge -- all the "little" details are missing here, like a) does it have the correct engine? Is it a 4-speed or an automatic? Do we have a VIN plate? Do we have a built sheet? The answers to those questions are worth about $50,000 extra.
 
Mustang Boss "Tribute" -- "tribute" is the latest buzzword for "fake".
 
'67 VW Bus -- I don't think he'll get that money because the vehicle was not correctly restored. VW bus wingnuts will in fact fork over big bucks for these early multi-window vans, but they are FUSSY. I'm thinkin' he'd be lucky to get half that, given what he's done.
 
Studebakers -- I'd take the "real" Avanti over the other two. Early 50s Studebakers are curiosities but they make better rods than cars, and yet another plastic fak-o Dawn of the Dead Avanti?....please, let this car die. So yeah the real thing is the way to go. That's where smart money is, even though your "real" Avanti isn't exactly going to catch fire after the recession. Now if it were a supercharged car, or one raced by Granatelli, well then....

'67 VW Bus: "The bus drives great "
 
not even the day it came off the line. Only vehicle I have ever driven that scared me to death when operated normally. Try, just TRY to drive one of these beasts in a 30MPH cross wind!

I kind of like that $20k Mustang. It's a fun car for the price of a nice Civic. All the work has already been done in restoring it. Since it's NOT collectible, you can drive it to the Mall and not sweat about putting miles on it or collecting the inevitable door-ding. Hold it for a few years, and then sell it for what you paid for it. From that perspective, I think it's a pretty good buy, yes? No? Can you get a car loan for something like this these days, or are the banks going to laugh at a loan for a clone?
 
As for the VW Van - yeah, I actually drove one a few times back in the day. It was a good reminder for me that German Engineers aren't always so darn smart.
 
And the Judge - I suspect the answer is "NO" to all your questions, or this guy wouldn't own it.
