Hope I Can

[Ken Hayes]

Hope I can talk Judy into doing it. I've got a good deal on a T-Bucket that a old schoolmate of mine has had for around 20 years. Its getting too hard for him to get into and out of now a days. All I wanna do is buy it, clean it up (maybe a new paint job) and sell it.

No offense but those cars scare the hell out of me for some reason. My question would be is how big a market is there for something like that. A Plus is it being titled as 1923.

I do like the looks of the wire front rims though, not sure they are very strong. The back rims would have to go as they do not match the car at all, maybe some steel rims the same color as the car if you paint it.

I have only met Judy 3 or 4 times and I'm pretty sure we will not see her driving that next year to Flint...HA

The market is good for these kinds of cars. Go to www.carsonline.com and check out some of the prices.

I agree, I don't care for the rear wheels and tires. Need different style deeper rims and much larger, wider tires.

I doubt if you'd ever see her driving it anywhere. Like I said above........I just wanna buy it, clean it up and sell it.

Looks that would great to have out this Saturday Night with the right costume on driving around. Lol You don't see them all that much around here any more. Mostly coupes, not many T buckets.

Grandpa on the Munsters had one. If your looking for a costume to fit.

[Ken Hayes]

Grandpa never had a T-Bucket. He had a Casket Drag Car called Dragula. Herman had the Munster Koach.

Your right in episode 4 of season 1 Lily bought a Model T and a Hearse and had the body shop combine them into Hermans car. The Munsters Koach.

Hey it was along time ago. I was foggy on the details. I knew I remembered one somewhere tho.

[Ken Hayes]

LOL the mind is the second thing to go.
