Sorry, but CP. To get to his vaunted $100k value, done right, would be quite difficult - and getting it to $50k might very easily cost >$40k. It's only original once, and this thing's gone a bit far past "original" in condition to get back with any ease.

I'm already working on it, but thanks anyway.

There's one very similar to this near me that's been sitting in a lot with a for sale sign. Much better looking than this, looks like it runs and drives, etc. I should see how much he is asking.

Rebuilt title? What's that all about?

I noticed that. May have had something to do with it being purchased non-running and still in a shambles because the current owner didn't get set up for a quick flip like he wanted. Some delusion of "This should go for $100k easy!" still persists, so...

That's not a Rolls-Royce, I'm afraid.

It's an Austin/Princess/Vandenplas Limousine (Austin and BMC never quite settled on a brand) that someone stuck a reproduction RR grille on. The good news is that it won't cost as much to restore, the bad news is that it won't be worth much when you do either.

This is what it's supposed to look like:

Not a totally unusual conversion, from what I understand. Those cars were often sold new to local officials like mayors, vicars, and the like, then resold to wedding hire companies, who added the Rolls grilles.

Sounds entirely plausible- especially the mayor bit. That, and funeral companies, seem to have been what these cars were made for.
