I am toying with the idea of parting with my '33 Deluxe Fordor. It is a body off restoration, every nut and bolt, and matching transmission to VIN. The engine is a correct '33 block with a complete overhaul. New babbitt as well. Also have original Dealership Bill of Sale. Where are these models currently in price?

In addition to the NADA guide you should check "Completed Listings" on e-Bay for your car and also check the "Old Cars' price guide. Use three or four sources to get an average value. Also the best place to sell it is in the V-8 Times or post a free ad on this website. There's always someone looking for a specific V-8 Ford.

$21,000??? I never found that the NADA guide was accurate for classic cars. Maybe more accurate for current models, but not for classics.

My best guides show a '33 deluxe fordor sedan in #1 condition (rare)at $22,500. If not a museum quality restoration, the #2 ranked cars, superior restoration, extremely well maintained example, drops to $15,750. Fordor sedans are always at the low end of the price scale. As always, the actual selling price is determined at the point of sale between a willing buyer and seller. The collector car market is still depressed, holding down selling prices in most cases.

Values for Stock cars are skewed by the modified cars. Your best bet is to Google "1933 Ford Values". You will get auction results and collector car insurance company values. Then make your judgement as to where you want to price your car. This site and the AACA site are the best places to list it. Tom This message was edited by TomO on 8-5-13 @ 8:56 AM

The numbers I seen in this discussion seem low to me. I know of two that just sold for $24,000. Give me a call at 208 891-7186 if you like.

I too think the values stated are low. It seems that the market has made the 1932-1934 Fords in all body styles very pricey. The lowly Fordor is especially popular for touring and family adventures. My thought is the numbers shown in the posts above are more appropriate for the #3 vehicles. The description in Big Block's post was more like a #1 or #2. I'd bet that if sold to a street rodder for a Resto-Mod it would bring close to $30,000 and the selling of the original running gear would lower the net investment to less than to cost of doing the body & restoration on a #5 vehicle. Pretty good price for a #1 restoration for antique use also. 1934 Ford's since 1972 This message was edited by 1934 Ford on 8-11-13 @ 3:31 PM

Currently the old car market is a little soft. I think that anything above $25,000 for this type of car may cause it to sit around for some time waiting for a buyer. People can set the price wherever they want but the value is set by what the buyer is willing to pay. I'm seeing some very nice cars that have been on the market for some time that are still sitting because the seller does not want to come down on the price. They have based their price on what they saw sell 3-4 years ago and that market is not here now.

I had to replace the junk engine that came with the car, with a correct '33 block. Complete engine job with new poured babbitt, rebuilt dist, coil, water pumps, etc. Cost=$10,000 just in engine alone. Currently finishing up on restoring an original Potter trunk for the car. Again, not a cheap investment. But one that I think looks great on a sedan. Those values just don't seem adequate. I know it's not a Roadster but people just don't realize the cost of restoring these cars "correctly"!!!

The cost of restoring a car in today's world has become very pricey. Rarely do you get your money back on the investment. That's why it is usually cheaper to buy a car already done as the builder is the first one to take the loss.

I recently put a bid in at 25k for a mostly original '33 5w coupe. I realize that prices for coupes are not the same as sedans. This car was nice but would have needed some mechanical work to put back on the road as a driver. It sold at 28k but not to me. I also think suggested prices given here are on the low side but these days are more of a buyers market. I see lots of nice restored early Ford V-8's being advertised at high $$$'s, BUT are they actually selling?? John
