  5. 29 Essex (also not a Dodge). I cut the front and back off it in 78 and made a pick up cab that became my 1st Hot Rod. The car behind is a Ford Popular. JW

    What I saw online..."Vespa 400s are exceedingly rare. Prices for restored cars hover between $12,000 and $15,000, with restorable cars generally priced in the $5,000 range."
    Check it over. If it's mostly complete, and you can get it cheap, I'd do it!

    Yes and hopefully someone would restore it. Such a pretty design...such a shame just sitting there.

    Did you know it's for sale? $50! That's correct...fifty bucks.
    You must pick it up though.
