    Hi all
    I've got some interests on my car and I'm back ant forth around if I want to sell or not. Also having difficulties in selecting a reasonable price on it. I would like your opinion on what it would approx bring in the States.
    The paint is not 100%, but overall it got the parts and at least I'm please with the stance of it.

    It has the following parts; 255 cu.i French Flathead, Thickstun, Navarro, New Strombergs, Hunt, T5-S10 5 speed. Brookville body, Rootlieb hood, Winters QC, Schroeder streering, Leather interior and rumble.

    If you don't need the money,keep the car. It's great and will increase in value,not drop like our worthless currency.

    35K to 45K Depending on how fast you want to sell or how bad you want to keep it!
    Very nice no matter what!

    The only down side to that car (and this is only brought to attention when selling it) would be the fact that it's a Brookville Body. So the Ford (even the hot rodders) Purists are not going to bite on it....

    ....Good news is it's a really rad hot rod so there's going to be some guys that have quite a bit of money behind them that'll pony up and pay decent money. It's turn key so a guy that's too busy to build one will be looking at it thinking about all the fun he can have.


    Weird times but I'd say 45k?

    The car is a replica of the Rolling Bones roadster regarding style, chassis and stance

    I think you guys are on the light side.

    Ask $55k and take $50kUSD...or keep it.

    Put a number on it that you couldn't refuse. If it sells awesome you have a pocket full of money! If it doesn't you have a cool cool hot rod to drive the piss out of.

    The only thing I can see negative coming out of this is that once you have opened the idea of selling that's all that car is going to be to you. You either are going to keep it forever or it's always for sale and you're always looking towards the next car ya know?

    thats a damn good lookin piece of machinery right there....I'd say somewhere in the range of 35-45K....Been watching all of the auctions lately....seems the original 32 stuff isnt going for much more than that either. 6 years ago that car would have brought 50 K easy. We are in a down market, its the time to buy. Everything is low, even vettes....saw a 57 vette Fuelie go for under 100K last week

    Yep one of the best looking 32 roadsters I've seen anywhere anytime.

    Yada yada ,the Brookville body probably would bring a tad less than an original Henry built body but If that car has an original body on it the price would be getting up close to or in six figures.

    It' a whole lot easier to start high and if someone has that money so be it than start a bit too low and regret it.

    Put a price on it that makes you happy...40,000/50,000 or whatever it might be. If you get no buyers it's too high. Consider lowering the price in comfortable increments til you either find a buyer or decide its not enough to make selling worthwhile.

    I've used this method for years....it works:)

    Nice car by the way. I'd be hard pressed to want to sell it.

    whats it worth, heaps of praise is what its worth , great looking ride, money comes and money goes but that is timeless , keep it unless you really have to sell it and then you and you alone know what its worth to you.....

    I'd also guess around $50k US Dollars.

    I really think it would be worth a little more than most other flathead powered Brookville bodied '32 Roadsters out there that are built with similar quality.
    My reasoning for that is because of the style and overall Hot Rod look, stance, and proportions that this car has. It's just BETTER in my opinion.

    By the way --- awesome car!

    If Rolling Bones can get what they do for an unfinished car (fake patina and indian blanket seat), your finished car should do very well. Tasteless cars usually seen on TV auctions will never bring very much. Well built cars done tastefully will usually sell faster and for more $ than one that just had money thrown at it. My 2 cents.
     
  26. Finding a 1932 Ford in Europe is not easy, let alone a REAL Henry Roadster.:eek:
     
  27. GREAT Hot Rod dude...... If it was mine I would'nt let it go at all. But if I had to it would take 50K to buy it.

    If that car showed up at our shop and a customer had paid 50k for it and the whole car is as nice as it looks I would call that well bought.

    The stance is spot on
     
  29. X2 all day Love this Roadster!

    The arm chair appraisals sound pretty accurate for the states but seeing as you are across the pond... I think the value would rise dramatically.
