    Hi guys.Need a bit of direction on something. I am really familiar with 1929 to 1941 cars and trucks. After that I am lost of popularity and values. Came a cross a 1946 ford 2 door sedan. its a virgin..never been worked on really never restored. body seems clean. interior has a few tears in the head liner. dash looks nice. flat head. :) yea...has not run in 15 years. one stainless strip of molding on the fronter fender was damged a bit, trunk latch handle was broken but still can open it. floors are good. Frame ok, saw one spot that looked a bit roted. Whats it worth?? having trouble getting pics on?? sorry guys

    i can get it for 1100 bucks. my thoughts were to get the motor running and send it along to help pay for parts for my model A hotrods i am building. i was thinking with the clean body and running motor could bring 3000 to 3500? am i dreaming?

    Hate to pile on, but you need to be posting pictures of it in YOUR driveway !!
    Sounds like an awesome deal...
    Good luck, and let us know when it is yours...

    I have a '47 Fourdoor. Nice original (Calif) car, a gift from my best friend.
    Guys that have seen it have offered $6K and $7K, not running.

    Tudors are worth more, and that is a popular model. Get it running, get it professionally detailed. Drive it to a 'run' or two.
     
  17. $1100 and it's not about to break in half? You shouldn't have to ask that one.

    Paid 8k for this one. Super Deluxe 47. Titled, running, driving, bone stock. Had to rewire it to make it legal. Your car is worth more than $1100 in parts!

    If it's how you described it, I wouldn't let it get away.

    YUP!! No way can you go wrong if it is as described. Running and cleaned up you're into profit.

    Well...its in the shop now. Now the the rods i am building now all have flatheads sitting on the shelf waiting to be droped in after body and chassis work. Been playing with nailheads the last few years. So not on the up and up on these flatheads. so that being said. looks to be this is a positive ground car...i have fuel up to the carb...no spark...getting very low voltage across the terminals on the coil. Looks like I may need to get under that distributer cap? looks like a pain in the ass to get too. fan and generator needs to come out? Anything I should be looking for on these motors during a no spark condition??

    ok....just looked at another motor i had on my shelf of the same vintage. how the hell do you get in there to adjust points?? seems like the best way is to rebuild the one on the shelf and put that one in there.. lol
