Projects another whats it worth 29 on deuce rails

Hey guys,
I usually hang out on the ford barn and have a couple of original model a's. I have the bug to get a traditional rod and have the chance to by a Brookville roadster on deuce rails. Flathead motor with offy heads and duel Stromberg 97s. It has a dago fron axel and a 32 grill shell. Good running car. Can anyone ball park a price for me? Here's a pic if it helps.

 

No pic,but hope you get it loaded.

 

While we are waiting for the pictures, is the paperwork on it clean?

clean paperwork

 

A photo would help. HRP

 

Here ya' go .....

 

Nice looking car,..16 to 20 grand? HRP

 

Thanks for getting my pic to post. Really torn on this purchase, but knowing what you guys think the value is will be a big help.

 

Nice looking car, for some reason it looks like the windshield and posts are somewhat different. Bob

 

One picture won't say much but just based on that one pic ...20+

clean underside and built as well as it looks ...25 ish

 

I went back and looked at the photo and you are correct,they don't look right. HRP

 

what do you guy mean by "not right"? I have a 30 roadster and the set up is different for sure. The windshield does look a little "boxie" now that you mention it.

 

The windshield frame looks taller than the posts, I can't see the tip of the post were the top header would attach. Just one of those things that jumped out as different. Bob

 

Coupester?
I like it, looks like it had all the right stuff.

 

This car has a correct windshield frame,although it's chopped,do you have a photo of the car from a different angle.

I down loaded the photo that was posted and I believe it is correct but the aluminum stanchions and the windshield frame is painted black.HRP

 

Damn that looks good.

 

28-9 stanchions were fixed (non-folding) and made of steel. I believe some export 'sport roadsters' had nickel-plated folding stanchions, but those would have been a rarity. I think the w/s looks odd because it's stock height and not laid back...our eyes are much more used to seeing them with a chop & rake.

Better pics would allow us to see the details...

 

The other thing that I can't recall seeing on an A Roadster is the cowl mounted rear view mirror. These aren't deal killers just pointing out areas that need a closer look. Bob

 

Back to the OP question, agree with HRP about $16k - $20k

 

if the paint and upholstery are as nice as they seem from the pic, I think the value is higher, maybe mid 20k, deuce frame is nice on that kind of roadster. The unchopped w/s is easy to fix. what about the rest of the drive train? 39 box? banjo rear? what brakes?

 

Just for comparison.
I have a new `29 Brookville on a SoCal `32 ch***is, crate small block dual quad my wife never drives available for $30,000 with 800 miles on it. Done somewhat traditional with a buggy spring, hairpins and `40 brakes.

I`d have to see additional pics on the op`s `29 to guess at a price.

 

thanks guys.....at almost 30 grand I think I'm gonna p***.

 

The cost of building this car would be far more than 30 if your
