I need help with my car. I have a 1936 Ford Tudor Deluxe that I would like to sell. I just don't know a good price to ask. It was restored by my father and is a three time Dearborn winner. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Bart, Ask your father's friends the same question. They would know you father's car and possibly people who would be intersted in buying it, as well as it's value. You can try to get maximum price or just try to find it a good home. I've seen them priced over $30,000 but doubt if they sell in that range. With it's Dearborn Awards, I would think $25,000 would result in a quicker sale. Remember your dad enjoyed the car and couldn't have one restored for that price, but he probably did his best to make it as perfect as he could. Not many people profit from as restoration these days, especially in this price range. Also others know they can buy them cheaper than doing a restoration, and that makes you dad's car desirable.

I agree with 1934 Ford's advice.In addition you might want to get the car appraised and then check 'completed items" on e-Bay to see the bid numbers onnthe same type of car. I would also run an ad in the V-8 Times as there maybe someone looking for that type of car.Those who read the ads may also have a friend who is looking for a car. The secret to selling is giving the car as much exposure as you can. If you are good with the computer you can also post ads with photos. That really helps sell a car. Without seeing your car I would think it should be priced between $18,000 and 23,000. If it's a tudor "flatback" I would ad an extra $1000 to those figures.

Thank you for the suggestions. Here are a few pictures of the car. My dad is a perfectionist to the nth degree. He has restored 7 cars that I know of. It needs a good home where someone will show it. I'll post a few more pictures after this one. Thanks again. Bart
