Hot Rods Yikes!

I must be sitting a gold mine….https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pts/d/santa-rosa-original-1932-ford-coupe/7397743808.html

 

You don't even get a title!

 

Am I missing something here? That doesn't seem all that ridiculous. I would agree that it's somewhat high priced due to it's rough condition, but full roller '32 Ford coupes with original steel bodies on original frames (with hood and grille, too) are not going to be dirt cheap or common.

 

My post is meant to be a bit tongue and cheek, I’m lucky I inherited my avatar, and would never part with it.

 

Well, if you look at whats there, it comes with a grill…1500$, decklid…1000$, boxed chassis…4000$, firewall….700$, garnish mouldings….200$, doors….16-1800$ a pair, that leaves the rest of the parts and the very rough body for a little over 5000$. Its a little high but , I have seen worse sell for more.

 

Jim correct , but if f he’s selling in a title or “ ownership “ state it’s worth 1/2 that as parts .

up here they charged the laws in Ontario snd it’s incredibly difficult to get an ownership for a car that’s not in the system.

so lots and lots of decent “ parts cars” are for sale for 5 grand or less.

If he had an ownership to go along with it, I think his asking price is very open for negotiation.

 

Ever heard about the rat saying that he was a bushy tail away from being hand fed in the park like them damn squirrels? Poor ol model A Ford was just one year away from being worth a fortune bet your sweet ass it sells, not to me, but there's a market at that price.

 

Like I said “yikes”, can you imagine the cost if you couldn’t do the work

 

Here is a better car, in my opinion

Interesting sport coupe with modified doors and a cabriolet top

 

That's why it's better to part out sometimes......especially in a state that needs a title to move forward.

 

Yes, it may be an original 1932 Ford 5 window coupe, but if you have to pay someone good money to do the body work correctly, it may not be such a good deal.

 

Some things are not measured in dollars and cents.

 

I don't think it's that bad. I see 4 door cars and long bed trucks on craigs that I wouldn't walk across the street to spit on being listed for the same and more. A title can be had with a statement of facts and a trip to the dmv.

 

I'll bet you could find a runner with a title for twice that amount and be money ahead.

 

Seems bout right.
Title?
I’ve never seen one older than1974 where I live.

 

Re, my comment and the following comment. " some things are not measured in dollars and cents". How about common sense ?

 

I agree with Lloyd. I have a fairly nice original 31 Model A coupe. Also a 32 three window roller
that is decent. I was showing a non gearhead friend the two vehicles one time. I explained that
if the Model A was one year newer it would be much more valuable. I stated that the 32 project
worth at least twice what the running A was worth. He thinks car guys perspectives are flawed
at the very least.

 

I don't remember the last time I saw a driver '32 Ford coupe for $30K, unless it was fiberglass. Also, that would require the buyer to have twice the money.

 

Well, I think he would need twice the money to get that thing on the road.

 

I doubt that anyone on this board would list it for less. Sell to a friend, sure, that will be less. And asking price is not necessarily buying price. But, realistically, he is asking where you would start out.
