Going to be selling this all as one lot. 2 frames, doors, fiberglass deck lid, coupster/roadster body, and a sedan body. How much should I ask for all of it?
you will make more selling it off by piece or car. the more you pile together the less per piece you will sell it for.
I'd say the sum of your parts would be in the $2000-$3000 range if the frames, gas tanks, and those quarter panels are pretty solid.
Up here all those bits and pieces would be 2-3 grand asking price. with a title much more. sold off in bits and pieces , takes time but double that more or less.
member on the hamb sloppy jalopys would have those pieces turned into 2 or 3 complete cars in a couple day's time.
I've managed to buy up a couple of large lots of deccent A parts in the past year. There is to much there to throw away from what I can see. If someone was in need of the body parts like scrap metal 48 says 1500 tops. There's to much good stuff available out there that needs a lot less work reasonably priced. And has been said over and over it's cheaper to start with a decent car with a title. As a few have found out when they bring a banger home they are a lot of fun and they're plans change. What we're seeing at the moment is the market is a little strapped for cash thanks to the virus sent to us by our friends across the ocean.
Here in upstate NY (where rust was invented) the asking price for that load would be $4-4500...and would probably eventually sell for $2-2500
I’d side with Colonial Coupe. You have a lot of material, but lot of it is pretty rough. As a lot I thing $1500-2000 where I live. More of course if you have time to part it out.
I'm in Kansas too and I'd say $1000 or so for all of it might do better selling pieces but take a while. Lots of parts but pretty rough, the cowl and doors on your sedan are for a Murry 4 door, frames are plentiful and worth $100 -$150 each.
agree on upstate ny and the rust deal......any surviving old iron always commands a high asking price up here( north of Syracuse).......Everyone thinks they have the best and only piece of rusty old crap in existence, therefore commanding the highest price in existence, and eventually selling for way less, or worse, keeping the same said piece of ancient tin, cause'.... " they're gonna fix it up real good someday". By the way, I got a 36 chevy truck hood for sale....it's got the side panels and is rusty and therefore worth way more than anywhere else......but if i don't sell it based on that I'm gonna keep it and fix it up real good ,someday......................half rant, based on geographical location, is now over!
LMAO. Not so much a rant @thintin. Truer words were never spoken. More of a commentary on the hobby here in the northeast.
I think here in Iowa that's about $1,000 worth. I've seen my brother selling nicer Model A stuff at swap meets and it takes a while to find the buyers. Your stuff seems a bit bent and crusty in the pics, so I'd think it will be hard to sell all of it individually. List it for $1,500 and you'll have some wiggle room.
If your main objective is get it all gone for the best price I would have a local auction co. sell it off separately. this way it is all gone on auction day and for the most money someone was willing to pay which will be more by the piece versus it as a huge lot where someone might only want a piece or two only. Downside is you will be giving the auction Co. about 30% but it tends to be worth it.
Here in rusty Wisconsin-land that pile would get listed for $3200 and then you'd sit on it for a couple months while guys asked "how much just for X and Y?" without bothering to read the ad that says all or nothing, and eventually you'd sell it for around $1500-$2K. Worth twice that sold separately but it's more work. Inclusion of/lack of a title sways that price a long way, especially here. If it was next door to me for $1000 I'd buy it just to sell it off in pieces again with the plan to triple my money over the summertime.
So, are you going to keep us all guessing or tell us what you got for it? Those that took the time to proffer an opinion deserve that I'd think.
