Saw this at lunch today......Is it worth $16,000....?

Fiberglass body
Nice interior
Chevy 350
Lame tweety bird sticker on the back

 

Not to me, (cause I'm cheap) but it would cost more than that to duplicate it.

 

bad deal. 16k will get round the same for a metal body.

 

Go for it. Aint gonna find a completed car like that in steel for that kinda cash.

 

i'd say no because it's fiberglass.

 

I'd sure like to see you build a roadster (a driver) out of real steel, finished like that car, for 16k...

You, my HAMB poster, are a dreamer...

Just because it's 'glas does not make it any less desirable at that price...and hell, I don't even like Fords...

R-

 

Hard to say,,,if you have a problem with glass,,then I would say no.

Do you want instant gratification and want to enjoy driving a roadster? HRP

 

worth 16k to whom? not to me...but probably is to some folks

 

yup....

 

it really doesn't have any "wow" factor to it. kinda plain lookin. i would not spend 16K on that particular car. but there's an ass for every seat.

 

Well the yellow really brings the price down amd the glass body. Does it have IFS if not well they make paint and you could find a steel body but that would defeat the paying 16grand

 

im a say no!

 

i wouldn't buy it because i'd rather build my own . i agree that it would cost more than that to build it..and i'm also sure someone would give that much for it

 

Wait a sec. $16K is a good price for a Tupperware roadster, but $15.5K is too much for a nice shoebox convertible?

 

Its' a decent price.

Not a steal, but fairly priced.

Rich

 

yea glass not cool! but some guys do like it! not worth 16k not to me.

 

I didn't say it was a "good" price...stop reading other words in my reply. I said it was desirable for that price...and I think even you'll agree, a roadster is far more desirable than a '51 Ford convert.

Now then, would I pay that for either car...??? You can figure out that one...In the last statement on my reply, I said I didn't like Fords...!!!

R-

 

I would have a hard time calling it a 1929 Ford when someone asked me what it was. It is a good price though.

 

Maybe to somebody. Not to me.

 

if it's complete and done right, it's worth it

 

Not to me.

 

not for a finished, running driving car like that. If it were steel the price would be way higher. That top alone probably cost a couple grand. It also looks like it has a full interior, and decent paint job. That's probably an 8 or 9in rear under there too..probably a 4 link aftermarket suspension, rebuilt Chevy motor..etc. Those wheels look like Vintique repop wires..about $1,500 hundred worth of wheels and tires...It all starts to add up when you do the math.

 

I'd say its a fair deal. Kinda depends on the quality of the suspension, drivetrain, etc.....
In this economy, I'd go no more than 12k, but it's not something I'd be real interested in anyway.

 

Not much I can add. It's likely worth that if it's what you want.

I'd pass.

 

You are a busy guy running your business. If you like it as is buy it. But if you are like most on this site you will probably want to change a few things, and if that is the case I would build something else. You could have the company buy it since it is the right color. Get one of the HAMB stripers to do some vintage type signage on the doors and use it as a shop car. Pile the guys in and go to lunch. You know, really enjoy it!

 

It would cost that much to make it, easily (glass or steel). The parts and efforts are the same extent, just different issues with the fiberglass vs the steel body.

Me, Id pass.

 

Let see, now understand that these are just estimates.
Fiberglass body- $5000
Body work and paint- $7000
TCI Stage chassis- $8000
Wheels tires- $1200
engine/trans- $3000
Interior- $4500
Labor- OH! SHIT I think I went over budget again and the car is now where being done yet!!!!

 

Nope, there's no way a fiberglass Model A roadster is more desirable than a shoebox convertible.

 

if hes askin 16 K he'll take 13,000 Either way its a driver, probably better then 1/2 the cars on here!!lol( just kidding).
Rattle can would do it wonders

$13K would be more in the price range. I just wish it wasn't yellow.....sorry, thats just me.
