1952-59 Ford What do you believe is a fair price for project Skyliners?

I spotted a pair of Skyliners on FB marketplace.. asking 14k, seems a bit high. Havent received a response from the seller yet. What do you guys think?? Here is the link.. https://www.facebook.com/marketplac...wse_serp:b1b820bd-c29b-421d-8ae5-39f5c51f5400

 

Impossible to tell value. Depends on how much rust in both. Looks like the light colored one has the engine missing.

 

$14 grand is the 'let's put 'em up and see if anyone bites' price. Would you pay $7k for either of those cars? Both are complete ground up restos. I've never been a fan of skyliners. For me I'd offer $5k for both. I'd take the $14k and buy one that's running, 90% finished and drive the **** outta it! Just my $.02.

 

Yea, I just looked at the link and those seem way overpriced to me for the condition. I know I have seen similar cars for way less than that pair in the last year or two.

 

I am not a member of Facebook so I can't see the ad. Can someone post the ad with the pics so I can weigh in as a long time owner of a '54 Skyliner? Thanks

 

I’m not a member either, but the ad showed up for me when I clicked on the link.

 

It depends on how complete they are, as in trim and accessories that are hard to find. No rust or little rust is a big factor. Having a ***le is another +.

$5000 is not bad if they were in decent shape.

 

Given how much it now costs to do a good quality restoration on one of these cars, I think that the 14K price is a bit high. Don't pay any attention to those Old Car Price Guide numbers as those are unrealistic in my opinion. Another seller here in California has been advertising for months now a '54 Skyliner needing complete restoration for 5K and it isn't selling. These cars look a bit better than that one but I would think that 5K each or 10K for the pair would be reasonable.

 

Yeah I totally agree. I think $7 for each is way over priced. I havent done much research on values, but it seemed way too high.
