This just popped up on Ebay, sheesh, obviously someone bought a decent Pierce, and to “improve” it getting rid of all the antiquated running gear….what a shame, no respect for history
Hi David, this car could be a restoration that has been halted due to lack of funds or lost interest. If the body of the car is badly rusted, or the wood totally rotted, any further work done and money spent might far exceed the value of the completed car.
So while we often think when we see an engine and transmission for sale that they are being replaced with modern parts, this could be just a stalled restoration that is better for the owner to part out than to try to sell the whole package as a project car.
i hope the engine and trans find s nice car to be installed into.

John Cislak confirmed this is a 29 Coupe turning into a street rod. The car was listed for sale on the net recently, so it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out which one it was. The ebay post is not clear, and the 15 k is for the engine and transmission. NOT the entire drive line and chassis. I think the car was for sale at 18 grand if memory serves me, so the street rod guy must be trying to recoup his investment and end up with a body and cash in hand. nOT an easy thing to do. Engine oil pressure show decent pressure cold, If I were buying it I would want to see it hot, after running at least half an hour.
