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??

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 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"!!!

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 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

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.
