Can someone help me price a 1928 Ford Roadster? Here are the specs: Built in 1960 Fibergl*** body (very nice condition) Nice interior (but tight for a taller person) 1950 Flathead Italian S.C.O.T. blower 40 brakes and 3 spd trans Columbia 2sp rear Vintage gauges, etc. Runs excellent I see prices for cars like this all over the place. Any ideas?
I like the look of it over all,just not the paint. Your asking so; My best guess would be about $10,000 ,maybe if it runs and drives real well,could be more? As for built 1960?,I don't see that in the rod,but was made to kind of look 60's I think. All just a guess,in the end its what you can get for or sell it for in the real world,not the guessing world.
Actually I met the guy who built it in 1960. The way you see it is as built in 1960. There is plenty of do***entation, old pics, etc.
You couldn't build it for that. The blower and rear end would be half of that. I'm thinking 16-18K, but the gl*** body throws me off. Rich
Same reason I posted, the person selling is at 20K. Not sure what it is worth with the gl*** body. An engine builder told me 20K for a fresh flathead with a new SCOT. Then there is the Columbia and everything else. Of course all used, but in good shape. I wish I fit in it better.
In 1960, Model A Fords were still seen nearly every day as second cars or beaters for teen drivers. I remember being able to buy decent runners for a hundred bucks, or so. Clapped out, but still running heaps were 25 or 30 bucks. I can imagine anyone, back then, making gl*** bodies when a good steel body, even a roadster, could be bought for chump change. I do know that there were a few gl*** bodies built in that time frame, but they were light weight shells for racing and nothing like the bodies being built today
it's got good parts, but twenty seems on the high side. again, something aint quite right about that body.
