WTB - 47-56 Coupe from club member

[JBL1967]

I was at my first Grand Nats last week, and loved it....great cars and people.
I'd like to buy a 47-56 Coupe from a fellow club member, and become the new caretaker.
Looking for a 47-56 coupe hardtop with a very reliable drivetrain.
A/C would be a plus (stock or aftermarket), but not required.

Almost always better off buying a car that is turn key in the financial aspect over any kind of project.

Vince always puts out an ad with honesty in it.
