Safari is incomplete. Given rarity, I'd assume someone will want it. There are 3 people that own cars in the yard. One not present owns this Poncho. Already asked about receiving a price. Sadly, this was complete with all good glass when parked!
I
really try to limit asking for prices. Sellers do
not want to hear "I know someone who would be interested" repeatedly even if true. Been on both sides of this fence and sounding like a broken record loses credibility every time. Unless I'm ready to throw cash out, no matter how cool, 80% of the time I simply keep quiet. Different scenario if a seller eludes to availability.
Was told Meteor limo style endloader is a '52 although I didn't snap frontal to verify. Notice how the rollers are specific.
It has dents as shown and some floor rot. Owner spoke fondly of it and will not sell. Perfect example of being on the fence here~ Borderline restorable right now. Owner won't do anything to it in the foreseeable future. Sit much longer and it will only be a parts car.
The reason I even traveled great distance to find this property was a rotted '60 Superior Crown. Not restorable but it did have good corner glass and landau irons I've been searching high and low for. Of course it was gone - and initially thought stolen. There were 3-4 cars owned by the person showing us around that were strangely missing. Turned out when scrap was high a few months ago, one of the other owners on site scrapped a dozen of his own cars and took a few roughest examples not belonging to him as well.
Brilliant idea.

Made the best out of the situation; switched gears; inspected what else is worth getting out for others.
