Hi All,
My name is Christopher and I am from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. When I was growing up my grandparents had a Mercedes 280SE and a 250C which were sadly sold - the 280SE in 2005 and the 250C in 2011. I have been into classic cars since 2012 and have managed to get a fairly large car collection. I started out with Hudson's at first but also got into Volkswagen's in 2013, with a dream of getting a Porsche 356. I came across 170's in 2013, and would like to some day soon acquire a 1937 170v, either a 2 door sedan or 4 door sedan. As for the restoration process, I am not afraid of it and instead enjoy it. I own a home based restoration shop on Van Isle specializing in early Volkswagen's but willing to take on domestics and possibly other European cars if the parts are all there.
I just have a couple questions regarding the 170's:
How much would a 170v project go for now a days?
How difficult are parts to find?
How rare are prewar 170's in North America?
thanks,
Chris
