FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I agree with ragtopman. If you are over 60 and want to just have fun, buy one already restored.I have friends who are over 70 and they have several projects and say they will get to them one of these days. I'll never see them finished and in the mean time I'm driving my cars and having a great time. The average restoration, if done correctly, takes 3-4 years and $20,000+ to complete.

It all depends how much time you have to devote to the project,and MONEY. and how handy you are,
and how old you are,and how your wife [ if you have one ] feels about you being in the garage every night,
if you are 60 and over buy a restored car,
that you can maintain and enjoy driving,
that is my opinion 37RAGTOPMAN
there is a Nice 37 CAR in Cars for Sale on this site,
check it out,LOOKS LIKE A TURN KEY CAR,,,,
but if you want something to do , go for it,
if the price is right,

The secret to buying an old Ford is to buy the best rust free sheetmetal you can find. Rust repair is very costly, so you want to avoid as much body work as possible. If you are looking at buying the car take someone with you who is familiar with body work and paint. A second opinion from and unbiased eye may save you a lot of money. A decent 37 sedan would be a fair buy at $8000-$10,000 in today's market.As others have said, photos would be a great help in determining the value.

It is very difficult to give a value without seeing the car. Posting a picture would help. NADA classics lists $7k to $17k. What is the asking price? With the economy like it is "sales" prices seem to be lower currently. Asking and sales price are usually not the same.

It's worth whatever you will pay for it.
You can get some idea from http://www.nadaguides.com/ or you can look in Hemmings or other publications to see what other people are asking for similar makes and models.

I've found a rust-free 1937 Tudor humpback sedan that is probably in a 3+ (maybe even 2-) condition. However, the car has not been started in 10 years. Can someone help me out with a value range? I'm an English sports car guy and have no experience with older Fords. Thx.
