1949 Merc coupe value question

Ther is a local estate auction coming up and it has a never been touched m no rust completely stock 1949 Merc coupe on it/ It has been sitting inside a tight shed for 50 plus years. What is it worth? there is also a 1951 ford hardtop that is an original mid foftys mild custom for sale on the aution. I think maybe $5 grand will buy either of them. The sale has not been widely advertised so maybe i can steal it.

 

It's worth whatever the last 2 guys bidding on it run it up to. What else can anyone here say, with no pictures, no idea how rusty it is, or how trashed the interior is.

 

A'51 Ford customized in the mid '40's would be pretty expensive by itself!

 

anywhere from 1 to 12k for a coupe project
depending on condition. Running and good paperwork can bring more.

 

No rust, of course needs interior

 

Convince yourself of what it's worth and then check your bank account.

 

And then lie to your wife......

 

This is how cars are accidentally purchased... Ask me how I know.

 

the Merc sold for $6000. Guy said he was representing Jay Leno. It was a 1950 2 door with the swing-out quarter windows/ THe 1951 Ford hardtop brought $1200. Wasn't near as nice as the Merc.

 

You missed the boat on both cars - sounds cheap!

 

Guy said he was representing Jay Leno......

not true. was just keeping bidders at bay. lol
