Old Tires and Rubber Parts
In the Mecom auction this past weekend, there were several cars that were listed as "Original with all original parts, unrestored." One even talked about the owner locating and buying for $40,000 an original battery and tires made in that period, not reproductions. I can understand the battery if it was never charged, but how could the tires not be dry rotted? And hoses, belts?
I tried to post this earlier but forgot the title, so sorry if it showed - I couldn't find it.
