This is another one that's been parked for many many years! One of my friends "stumbled" across it while he was looking at some of the guy's horses. The gentleman that owns it is the coolest old farmer you'd want to talk to. He said he turned down $10,000 a few years ago, but I really don't know what to offer him. I love the old wooden floor in the barn! The barn doors are built out of heavy rough-cut timber and it took two of us to slide it over to let in some light. Any ideas what it's worth?
Old Cars Price Guide values for '33 Plymouth range from $580 to $34,000, depending on what body style and condition
Those make really cool hot rods! If it was a Ford, it would be 2-3 times that........and it would look like a lot of other people's hot rods. Just sayin'.
Around $11,000-$12,000 per the book, if you actually look up that it's a Coupe the 4 is like $10,800 and the 6 $11,900. He probably should have taken the $10,000 and run with it.
From the looks of the paint, there should be no surprises hiding in it. The old Plymouths have really come on lately value wise. If it was me I would ask him to set a price, then you'l know whether to counter offer, buy it, or smile and thank him for his time. Take an Old Car Price Guide with you, it can be a big help, but don't show that to him unless you are close to a price and need a little leverage. The price guide can work against you if he's offering a bargain.
It's a coupe, it looks extremely complete, and looks like it might even drive out of there. If you can get it for close to his 10k, do it. ***uming it looks as good 'live' as it does in pics.
10k sounds right. This car was for sale a year ago S.C. Asking price was 14k, but the owner was willing to sell for 12k, probably less as it had been for sale for a while. I think this was the later '33 with the better looking hood/louvers.
Had a 33 PD Coupe (long wheel base), Mll suspension, Nova rear end, 350 SBC. Was a great cruiser. Probably shouldn't have sold it. According to the pics, looks as if its worth every bit of 10K.
10K is a good price for it these days. He probably wants closer to 12k for it. But can't blame the guy for getting the most he can out of it. If it was a Ford they would be asking much more for it. I love the old Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler cars. Don't see too many 34 rumble seat coupes running around. Body looks pretty nice. I would love to own that car.
Don't offer him anything, whatever you offer he will turn down. Ever see the Pawn Stars make a first offer? It's up to the seller to state what he wants. Then you can agree, or counter-offer.
You can see what I paid $11,000 for by checking "33 Dodge Coupe" on the message board. Thread on the build. Car had been redone about 10 years ago, but was basically stock. I thought I got a good buy at that price and would give readily $10,000 for the one you are looking at. You will be able to sell off a lot of the stock parts. It is a rumble seat which adds value. It has the continental kit, etc, etc. But previous posters are correct. Ask the owner to give you a price. You will know right away if he is really interested in selling or is just jerking around.
33`s and 34`s look chopped straight from the factory. In my opinion they are under priced compared to the Ford. There trunks are much bigger have more leg room when driving. But they are still out of my price range.
Nice coupe, if it were mine I wouldn't sell it for $10K. Those Mopar coupes have been under the radar so to speak, which have kept thir values down..but they're starting to come on now. Great looking cars, I would, givin the opportunity try to get it for the $10K, or less. It will only increase in value.
My guess is that he should have taken the $10,000, I would say 6 to 8 thousand based on Hemmings and swap meet prices.
Great looking ride, 10k sees like big $ to a old geezer with no dough. I really dig the exceptional MoPar body stylings and it is soooo cool that it diff from the tons of fFords, hope it works out for you, best of luck. ~sololobo~
Well it appars to be an old hotrod of some sort. Never the less the guy with the coupe is correct here. He knows what he wants for it and if you offer him more he will really be stoked. It is his move if he wants to sell it. If he is not willing to throw a price at you then he probably doesn't want to seel it very bad. Rule number one to buying of any value. Never put all your cards on the table. If you are looking at a 10,000 boat and you tell the seller that you have 25,000 it just became a 25,000 boat.
Any way you look at it the car appears to be nice. I would consider rust issues and over all condition but I say its a $11,000 to 12,000 price range and should be in the ball park. Some of the older guys with this stuff in their barns have dreams of grandeur as to value and these you can't ever deal with.
No idea what it's worth but there's a ton of good info here: ply33.com According to the website Plymouth introduced the 6 cylinder (with 10 more HP than Ford's V8) into it's cars in 33 but sales were still sluggish because with the shorter 107" wheelbase it still looked like a 4 cylinder model. They 'borrowed' the longer Dodge frame for a 112 wheelbase and designated that the 'PD' model. These cars also came with 4 wheel hydraulic brakes and a full pressure oiling system, and they were Chrysler's "cheap" car. I've got a rodded '33 coupe, mine's a PC.
