I just missed a certainly not cherry Model A coupe body that had a well done chop but still needed ALOT of work for 1,500.00. It was for sale locally and the owner had a line of people wanting to pay for it. I would guess and really nice Model A coupe body could be upwards of 4-5 grand if it is really nice and solid and has good doors, deck, garnish moldings, etc. A 1932 coupe body is a totally different story and could be 10 to 15K if it is a five window and double that amount for the elusive three window.
Actually, they sell for EXACTLY what they are worth. Willing buyers, willing sellers. Simple economics.
This ain't Walmart. They aren't all lined up in nice packages to buy at your whim. Every single one is gonna depend on the condition, the location, the time of year, weather, etc. No way you can generalize except to get within a few thousand dollars. How high is up?
They arent, i just figured someone went around putting them on pallets and sold them in perfect condition c'mon, yer not talking to a jackass here i just wanted a bal park range.
Last Spring, someone had a not-so-cherry, but not-so-bad, complete '29 coupe body for sale at a local swap. It had a pair of rear fenders with it, too. The guy wanted $2500. I thought it was a fair price. I asked the Model A guys what they thought of the price, and they laughed their rearends off. It went unsold. I still think it was a fair price, though.
Brookville is.......$30K!!! AND a two or three year wait!! NO firewall,frame,fenders,ect,ect,ect.....
This isn't henry steel, but I've had my eye on a 32 Chev 5 window. It belonged to a friends father who died last year. He paid 1800.00 for it a couple years ago. I can get it for the same, and it needs an awfull lot of work.
I got a 1932 Ford 3 Window (steel) up on ebay right now... Prices are not what they used to be for these... but they are by no means cheap. Model A's are the way to go... affordable and just as fun to drive. Hyfire
I know its a Model A but what do they call this model? its got a lot of wood on the inside and the steel is nailed to the wood. What would you guys say its worth?
they call it a model a "coupe". it could be worth many amounts. depending on its cond and if its complete. looks pretty nice though.
Model A Coupe bodies are $50 on sale this week only and '32 coupe 3 windows are $200 regular price...... Check Amazon.com if you want free shipping
