    Stupid **** like the rat rod light switch would make me really question the quality of the build.
    im a tight ***. 5-7 k, because you're going to find a lot that needs fixed.

  4. I agree with Tony, 10-12, to really put a value on a vehicle, you need many close up pictures, of the ch***is, the frame rails, all the welds you can picture, motor mounts, wiring, front and rear suspension, etc. can't have enough pictures, then you're still taking a chance. At that price, I'd figure on blowing it apart and starting over, making sure it had a good ***le. Just my thoughts.

    I see bar stools , Harleys, and more Hot Rods in the garage shots- that takes care of the background check. Hop in and GO, leave the Carnuba Wax to the Lawnchair Dudes.

    Well that was certainly interesting. Around here the local rod flippers would be wanting 15K+ just because they would say it has a fine patina on it.
    I doubt seriously that I will have my 31 Vic on the road for any less than the asking price of that coupe when I start counting the original cost and everything I have and will spend on it and that doesn't include any paint or real interior.

    It's always been my experience that it's worth what you're willing to pay for it without giving up groceries or rent and not feel any remorse the next day! But if you want a dollar value I would lowball at 5K and go to 7.5K. Right down the street from me is a 30 Deluxe Coupe, old restoration that my cousin priced to me at 10K just before he died. His son inherited it and don't know if it's for sale anymore. Good Luck!

    I'm p***ing on this because I ran across another vehicle I don't want to p*** up. Besides, they made a million A's, they'll be another opportunity :)
