Default Help me identify this car

Hi Everyone,

On a motorcycle ride yesterday I noticed this car in a yard amongst a pile of junk.

It looks like a Bugatti, Type 37?

I went by today and snapped a few photos from my car, I didnt want to tresspass.

Can anyone identify it? i

Looks like a Bug to me. If you can zoom in on the emblem on the front, you might make it out. Looks like a great rebuild.

I cant make it out I was already at max zoom when I took the photos, the emblem looks red and faded.

I wonder what a Bugatti like this is worth, it looks like it's in poor shape.

Do the owners know what it is? Do they need someone to take it off there hands to clean up the yard...

I'd go for it. What can you lose?

Thanks Dave,

I was hoping it was the Barn find of the century.

You could buy a ride in F1 if it was.
