1930 Cabriolet estimate value

[Rex_A_Lott]

What do you see that I'm not seeing as far as the engine goes? Valve and carb leaks are easy and cheap fixes.

Now maybe it's the pictures, but the sheet metal looks wavy to me. Is that a correct color top?

I think 18 is a little high but if the sheet metal is not wavy, not by much. How many were made and how many come up for sale? There was a '31 that sold on ebay that had some rot and dents and it sold for $25,500.

I'm seeing a motor that wasnt even run long enough to discolor anything. How do you know it was done correctly? Paint is cheap.Run it to make sure its right.
The fuel in the bowl in the picture is what, 3 years old? What else has been neglected?
I guess when you're talking about a potential 30k car, the price of a complete engine overhaul is not that much.
I would just be put off by a car I couldnt drive, unless I was buying a project. I think with a little work it would be much easier to sell as a running driving car, that needs a little more work.
Good Luck to the OP in your project.
