What is a 39 dodge coupe worth

Got a lead on a fairly complete 39 dodge coupe body and frame. Seller wants $300. Is is worth it?

Got any pics of cool ones.

Thanks

What buildable car isn't worth $300???

Easy on the Giggle Cream!

 

If as much of it is there as you want to use it's worth it, but there aren't any/many reproduction parts for it, so if it's missing things like inside window garnish moldings, fenders, grill, radiator sore support, etc, you'll probably be buying another car like it some day just to get the missing parts.

I once bought a second, (wrecked, had hit a tree, but driveable!) '55 Olds just to get one piece of side trim fr theone I had.


In other words, Do you really love this car?

If it WAS that second parts car and hadwhat you're already missing you'd jump at only $300 to get what you need to finisha project... I started a Model A on a $10 Cowl with only five bullet holes though...

 

It's not my first choice but I thought since the price was right i would buy it for a later project or keep it for trading stock. Anyone building any of these. Any pics out there. How about one with no fenders and no hood.

Thanks

What a cool site........Thanks........

I like this one.....not a 39 Dodge but WOW.....

 

While not a coupe I think this one is cool!...

 

Heres my 39 Dodge pickup after the saw treatment. Chopped 3, channeled 9 and a 6 inch poor mans section.

 

IMO a 39 Dodge is a very cool car, but the trim-if you want it- will be a challenge to find.

 

a friend of mine paid $500 for a half rotted car but al the trim was there

 

My friend Kevin's 41 Plymouth.

 

Thanks guys. Wil take a look at it this weekend. Anyone out there interested if i don't buy it? Will take some pics too.

Thanks

 

for three bills? lemme know!

 

Will do.


Thanks

 

39 Dodge; last year for leaf spring front, non IRS. Some later models may have the later frame with IRS. Check Ply-Do, Roberts Motor Parts in MA, Andy Bernbaum and Kanters for parts. Same old 218 flat six up through early 50's. Plenty of room for V8 swaps. Ditto as others for trim pieces; the 40 seems to be the first year for repro stuff but I've seen some 39 stuff offered.

Is it worth it? hell yes for a low buck ride. I picked up a rebuilt 318, 904 ****** and steering collumn with key for $250. Can't find those deals with chevy or ford stuff.

 

yeah, show us pics

 

This one is pretty cool looking if you can get by the pink paint and painted spotlights.

 

a 39 dodge!!!!

 

If you get it a guy here has a parts car in pretty good shape, don't know where in Iowa you are, I'm in south central nebraska. Pretty sure its a 39 will get pics if you need em. Could probably get it for a couple hundred.

 

think its a plymouth though

 

I've got the county on my *** ,but for 300 I would consider it.got pictures?...damn there I go again.
