I recently looked at a 1929 Ford coupe and just want to know what is a good deal?


It is a completely stock 1929 coupe with a rumble seat. It is a fairly nice older restoration that has been cared for. The only significant "bad" thing is that, to be nice, it should be repainted. Right now the paint job is kind of a 20 footer. The rest of the car is pretty good.
So what is a good deal?


I apologize that I didn't think to take any pictures when I looked at the car.
 
nobody will be able to tell you by your description.

5k-10k. thats as close as its going to get.

a paint job can cost 5k-15k, but does it have to be painted? not enough info........

I know "pretty good" seems vague. But, I believe that is accurate terminology. Runs and drives well, but underhood/undercarriage would need to be detailed if I were going to take it to shows. Interior has no stains or tears but is black vinyl(?) and needs some cleaning(dusty from being parked in a shed and not getting out very often). Rumble seat looks good but also needs a little cleaning from not being used in ages. Wouldn't have to be repainted necessarily. But, has a few runs in it and a few spots that were sprayed dry(might sand and buff some of the flaws out... then again maybe not. idk).
 
What do you want to do with it, show it or drive it ? You don't need perfect paint to enjoy driving it.
If you want an A and overall like it, get it and enjoy driving it while you fix the things that need attention.
 
Location is also a factor in price. Go to the MAFCA site and check out the newsletters of local chapters to see what cars are worth in your area. Not getting out often is an indication it will need a lot of TLC over your first few months of ownership. Also underhood and chassis needing attention indicates driving rather than maintaining took priority. Chasing leaky gaskets, rotten radiator hoses, rust clogging fuel screens, making sure everything is lubed. Condition of engine is an unknown running yes - but how long before it needs work? Vinyl interior is incorrect so it you want original that will be a big expense as will the paint. Prices of parts and labor have gone up greatly in the past few years.
Set yourself a max price you want to spend on a car then shop for the best car you can find for your money.

I like to go to Hemming’s on line site. It will at least give you some idea of what a similar car is being offered for.

The are just to many questions that need to be asked to get any kind of worthwhile answer here.

A good driver, with good brakes, shocks, tires, springs and front end. No rust, a 20 footer!

Just a guess, $14,000.00?

Good luck.
 
OK, so Ill push closer to the 10k number then...... from your 2nd description.

again, just a guess.
