help identifying this chevy

can anyone help me in identifying the year & model of this old chevy? any ideas on what this may be worth? i spoke with the owner's wife & she says she has a title for it somewhere....
thanks

 

Looks like about a 28 chopped down coupe

 

Just go get it!!!! The car appears to be relatively solid and IT HAS A TITLE !!!! What's it worth to you????? My best guess is a mid 20's !!!!

 

That is an awesome find.

 

I am thinking 26 chevy because of the short hood. The longer hood didn't come out until 28, and your fenders don't look like 27 chevy fenders.

 

Lol, $20k for that? Probably not even half that.

 

It is a 1925 Chevy Superior series.

 

I thought ALL chevies were SUPERIOR!!!

 

Uhhh, he was talking about what year the car was.........

 

thanks for all the responses. i am interested in it, and it is solid...

 

Be careful when you're told that the title "is here somewhere". Keep your $$ in your pocket till you have it in your hand! Once the money changes hands, the seller has NO motivation to find it. Sorry to be suspicious but I've seen this more than once. Anyone who says they are easy to get hasn't tried to get one lately. With that said, the car looks really good!

 

You snooze you lose,what does she want for it and is the trailer hooked up already,pass on that and you"ll be kicking your own ass,shes got the paperwork and nowadays thats half the battle.

 

I am thinking 1926. but then again I am thinking............

 

thanks again for all the responses, i googled for images of 25, 26, & 27 and it appears to be in that time frame...it just looks like it could be a fun car to build.

 

It looks like a '25 (from the radiator shell).

Nice find!

 

I don't think it is worth all that much as, somewhere between one and two thousand probably but I'd try and get the lady to put a price on it and go from there. She probably has an idea of what she wants for it and it may be lower than you had planned to offer or much higher than you feel it's worth.

 

damn rights meat ball.

 

dude why isn't it in your garage already? are you waiting forf someone to beat you to the puch. The car is a 1925 or 26.

 

25-6 by the rad shell

 

1926 as spark & retard levers on dash and has headlight tie bar. Not really much difference between 25 & 26 apart from minor details although 25 typicaly have cast rather than pressed steel front chassis cross member for front engine mounts. 25 motor should have dizi and oil pump driving off back of gear driven generator - 26 is belt drive gen and oil pump in sump.

Great find - check out what Jimmy B has done with similar vehicle.

 

i guess they're looking to get 2,000 for it...sound right, or too high?

 

with title, grab it!!!

 

i think it's worth 2000...i hope it's worth 2000. any idea where i could get parts for something like this? ford parts seem readily available, but chevy...not so much. luckily everything seems to be there, but not sure what to do for the windshield, bumpers, door handles, & trunk lid...

 

here's some additional pics...

 

Is there any of the wood inner structure left? I would check. Not a show stopper, but it will delay the show for sure.

<--- Ask me how I know.

 

there is some wood, but it's all dry rotted and falling apart. is there any place to buy replacements, or would i just be better off using steel box tubing?

 

Steel might go easier, certainly cheaper than buying a wood kit if it was available.

That car won't be a good start for a beginner, trying to fab a roadster out of a coupe. Do you have doors?

The trunk lid you may never find and maybe can make one from a modern roof skin.

Windshield posts can be adapted from another brand of roadster or touring car, but skill is envolved to make the mounts in the cowl. then a custom windshield frame would be fabricated to fit.

If you have never done a big rehab, I would keep thinking about what you realistically can do with your tools and skill level..

 

both doors are there and seem in good shape. thought i may have to make a trunk lid myself...if i couldn't find one.

also found this one for 4,000...might be worth the extra money

 

Buy the one for 4k!! Its in alot better shape and not sitting out in the elements. You'll save a boat load in the end. Looks almost to nice to cut up though.

 

that's one of the dilemas i'm having, the one for 4000 would be alot easier...
