Guest WelcomeHome Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hello all, New to the forum. I have a question that I am sure your collective knowledge can answer. I have discovered a barn find of a 39 Zephyr rod resto. Shell only. The owner has the title, and the VIN number on the shell is matching. The car has been sitting outside for some time, but appears straight and little to no cancer. It has been chopped, convertible, two seater. He wants to get $5000 for it. The question is whether or not that is an accurate value for it? One of the best looking cars from the past in my opinion, and I would love to have the opportunity to do the project, but is the price right? Also, any added info and insight you could give would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Knapp Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) WOW!! Now THAT'S a project! You gotta wonder where that "V" windshield and vent windows came from. Certainly not a 1939 Zephyr. The grille looks a bit like parts of a 1941 Ford. It will take DEEP pockets and a LOT of skill to finish this one, but it would certainly be unique!It appears to be sitting on a chassis. Any idea what kind? Edited June 5, 2012 by Phil Knapp (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 1939 Studebaker, maybe...channeled and sectioned, of course in order to lower it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBoz Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I think Kaiser31 may be right; it might be a Studebaker. What's the VIN -- that would be a dead giveaway whether it was once a Zephyr or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
