Hot Rods whats a '34 Ford 5 window worth?

I have located a '34 coupe that been setting in a guys garage forever almost. He bought it when he was in high school, drove it for a few years, then blew the flathead up. It has set in his garage ever since, and he is drawing social security now. Its all there and complete, bumper to bumper. No rust or big dents that I can see. It has an old, old roll and pleat interior, '35 wire wheels. All the gl*** is there, the doors shut like new. He thinks its worth at least $20,000. What do you guys think. Oh, this is in the mid west, things don't go for near what they would on the coasts. As good as this car is, it would still need a ton of work and money spent on it.

 

Usually I would say yeh it's worth that much, but a 32 3 window in maybe just a little worst shape sold for $19,500.

With that in mind I would say between $15000 and $17000.

20 k sounds about rite. 3 window?

 

around here Id say its still worth 20 or so

 

I'd start offering him $15,000 and ****er back and forth from there upward, until you two can agree on a price.

 

your first born male heir..........

 

Ditto on $20K.

I just paid $25K for mine.

 

give him the 20k before someone else does

 

Its worth whatever he is asking...

 

You will never regret paying 20K for that.

 

I'd pay that in a heartbeat. Couple years ago I was trying to buy a body, I've seen bodys that needed lots of patch panels go for that on e-bay.

 

Shoot, I found a body and frame for 10,000 than needs some little things and I p***ed.

 

what its worth is harder to evaluate without pictures.

 

EXACTLY!! If your going to ask about worth you've got to supply some visual aids.

Last I checked they stopped making 34 coupes a couple years ago, so you might be smart to jump on it.

 

i will take it !!!

 

People will travel for a '34 coupe.

If it is in the condition you say it is, it'll bring 20K all day long.

Ok....

 

I paid $20.5K for a running and driving(2.5" Chop,Small Block Chevy,T5,8" Rear) real steel 34 5 Window Last year

 

no pics, no opinion.

 

Find out if he has 2 cars I will buy them both for 30k each and I would also like to meet Santa Claus!

 

If you are serious about the car, go over with $15,000 in cash and hold it out and say 'here it is to prove I'm serious". Older guys seem to appreciate cash in hand rather than words of offers flowing from your mouth.

 

remember if its the car you want !!!!!!! just buy it ,the only time it will be expensive is the day you buy it .after you get it home give it a clean up you will be glad you did i. i once told a guy id take his car he had for sale before he told me the price when he told me this i said to him i know you will be fair so its mine now how much the car 35 phaeton the price 20k

 

If you have 20k to spend : BUY IT !! Sounds like a FAIR price. If you dont have 20k : Offer him what you can afford . Sure hope you get it !!
Keep us posted !

If it's a complete, all steel, unchopped, unfilled, with the door handles and with minimal or no rust, and the windshield still swings out and the back window still rolls down, well when was the last time you saw one for sale? I'd say 20K is a good place to start if not end.

 

Wow, I had no idea these cars are draw that kind of $$$! My dad recently gave me his '33 5-window that has been stored since about '64. I will have to call and thank him again...

 

let me have the address i will be right over
