I am trying to help a friend sell his 1929 Model A Roadster he has owned it for about 15 years and never intended to sell it. Unfortunately, times can be tough and here we are. The problem is he has a vague idea of its worth and I have no clue what I should list it for and the prices I have seen are all over the place and I want to make sure that we set a fair but realistic price. Here is what I know, it is a 1929 Model a Roadster:

Convertible
It has had a Full off body restoration done. (what ever that means)
Original engine.
Original transmission.
Runs great
2 door with rubble seat
I don't think its judge able but its in great condition
Spare tire is in the back(if that means anything)
two tone dark green with black fenders, trim, top, running boards, etc.
Goose radiator cap (if that means anything)
Used primarily for the occasional Sunday drive and parades
Just a fun fun car.
I don't have anymore info on it. I will be happy to get more info if needed.

I don't have pictures yet but I hope to soon. I have seen cars similar range from $17,000 all the way to $30,000. If someone could help me narrow this down I would appreciate it. you guys are the experts not me.

Thanks,
Jason

I have a 29 roadster, Mike is right we need photos, a well done Restoration would bring top money, that means it was done right, i have seen many cars with frame off restorations that was done horrible one is my 31 vicky so need pictures, one more thing In my opinion this is a bad time to sell and a good time to buy, so this might influence the price,
 
Rusty and missing parts 5 to 7K. Ragged out 7 or 8K. Decent but tatty 8 to 10K. Excellent (in todays) market 12 to 20K depending on the care of originality during restoration plus accessories etc. More only if it has a history that will catch the eye of someone that has an obsession.

If I'm wrong it won't be the first time.

"It has had a Full off body restoration done. "

this phrase means different things to different people, depending upon their level of knowledge and integrity.

at worst it means "nice paint & interior with ragged out mechanicals"
at best it means "great-looking car that you can drive anywhere with reasonable safety & dependability"

prices vary greatly within this range...

put it on eBay with lots of good photos and a VERY high reserve to get an opinion of value from the bidders..........
