That would seem to be a very fair price.

Radiator is worth half that alone!
Just a 20 year old who listens to 40 year old music, works on 75 year old airplanes and drives 100 year old cars.

Re: 1915 Touring on Hemmings
Is an old radiator like that which is likely on its 'last hurrah' really worth that much?
I applaud the Seller for realizing what this car isn't and pricing it accordingly. As I was looking at that car, do you suspect it is too far deteriorated to even be brought back as a 'survivor'? I'd say the body wood and sills are shot, and maybe the same for the top bows (-and maybe irons too)? I would think the car likely needs the rear axle gone thru to change the thrust washers, and the fuel system replaced due to rust, ...and the wheels respoked, likely rims replaced, and definitely something newer than those Non-Skid tires & tubes. Probably better factor in a new radiator, and some motor work. When you add it all up, it really needs a lot of labor and money spent on it where it can reliably Stop, Start, and Steer.
