Is this car really worth 50K ????

Buy a rotten one, then have the metal work done properly, and see where you end up.
If that's your dream car it's worth every penny.

 

They're all worth what someone pays for them.

 

no but the distributor is pointing the right way

 

Why not .I think it is worth it .But I would have to sell off way to much of my stuff to buy it .My last 2 cents

 

I watched a steel front clip sell on that auction site last summer for a little over $5,000.

 

Do these two guys sell Geico insurance? Great buy. My chases' end up P.O.S.'s

 

Not to me it´s not...Not really into much anything of that era myself anyway...And wouldn´t spend that kind of money on any car, especially not a "core", period.
Usually this kind of pricetags, be it at a swap-meet, the web, cl***ifieds or some guys yard by the back road, go with the soundbyte: " I really don´t need to sell it, but if someone was to give me $**,**X for it, I might as well part with it..."
´Course it´s up to each individual what to do with their own personal belongings, and if the right buyer does show up, good for You. I just wouldn´t be bracing for any traffic jams on my street at that kind of pricing on a project vehicle, exactly. Not to be disrespectful, just saying what I think, like the original post suggested I do...

Not necessarily anything to do with this specific case, but all too often You see some vintage iron sitting around that was hauled in decades ago in nice shape which dilapitated into mere cadavres from sitting outside or inside a cold, moist enclosed storage with a tarp over it, with the owner not having the means, skills or interest to do anything with it themselves, but nobody else in the past 3 decades ever got a chance at it either because the owner´s favourite gag-reel for years has been turning down cash offers for it and going on tangents on how "collectible" and "hard to find" it is, and "It´s gonna be worth $**,**x restored so I´m asking yy,**x" despite of all the most evident decomposition already occurred and unfortunately, at the rate this has been going on, still tons more to be predicted. At the worst-case scenario, these "enterprises" end up with the owner taking the "midnight express to Slab City" eventually and the uninformed heirs doing away with the piles in the quickest and least complicated manner...

 

NO! Well, maybe. I don't know, YES.
It's well worth the 50K if you don't mind spending $150,000 to own a $75,000 car

 

I know a guy here local that got lost on a dirt road in southern Okla. and found a nice 41 Willys coupe years ago .No rust ,original ***le ,untouched , all gl*** (only 1 piece cracked) ,etc .,and he bought it from the farmer that tried to talk him out of buying it cuz it didnt run for ....are you ready for this $250 bucks ,thats right $250 .Is it worth 50K ? Not to me ,but yes it proly is worth it to the right guy. If it was mine i would ask as much ...

 

If it was mine, I'd be asking $60k! And calling you all a bunch of CHUMPS, lol.


Someone will pay that much for it. And you know what that means? It means those old Willys coupes are worth a ****load of money.

 

Here is one you can get cheaper. If you are going to slice and dice it to make a g***er I think you are better off not paying the premium for such a nice original car like the one that started this thread. It's not that far from me, too bad I'm a little low on expendable income.

 

That one is a great start to a g***er! I wish I had that kind of cash.

 

Man i am new to this site how long ago was this car for sell because i want it you guys mite think i'm nuts but if you look at my site i already have 2 steel 41's and would not mind building a 40 for the strip old school baby thanks justin

 

I have heard of guys spending that much on a finished fibergl*** car just to make it look like that
BUT not me

 

Very cool coupes.

 

maybe if your jay leno but then he dosnt have that much money to light on fire either

 

I always tell people, if you can find one cheaper somewhere else, buy that one -

 

whats the price of the car buy you I saw It on e-bay a few times before,cant remember what the guy told me on price?.I may be Interested In It?

 

This thread is a year old

 

Almost any price on any car will find a buyer eventually. It all depends on how patient you are. If the car can sit for 10 years, you'll find a buyer eventually. I have seen people spend stupid money on vehicles that weren't worth a quarter of what they paid for it.

Honestly, I really know nothing about Willy's, or their value. I just know that I like 'em. Is it worth 50K? Not to me...but I can guarantee that there is someone out there that thinks 50 is a hell of a bargain. If you are patient enough, you can find a ***** who will pay $50,000 for a 1985 Yugo.
