    Lot's of interesting comments on here. As I don't normally dabble in Pre-War cars I generally stay out of these conversations.

     But a friend recently passed away with some vehicles left to be finished and I'm trying to help get a reasonable price for his widow on his long term restoration 1935 REO Royale. The chassis is all restored properly. Engine and transmission rebuilt and running. Body is all there including all trim minus rear bumper. Interior has to be finished. Seat frames are good and all new correct upholstery is included but not put together. She has decided to just sell it instead of trying to find someone to finish it. I think its at least yard drivable. So, my question is where to list it, and price? 

     I'll probably start a thread on here.

    Thanks in advance for any input!

    List it right here, Ed!  Location?  The widow must have a ball park price in mind, no?  Post some photos…

  2. Spend a FULL DAY washing, cleaning, vacuuming, etc!  Air up the tires.  Make the car look it’s best!  Nothing in the trunk, on the carpets or seats.  When you advertise it for sale don’t include any of the photos above.  When you are done cleaning, put away the hose and bucket!  Take all photos with the sun at your back.  Find the missing wheel cover!  Rust is going to hurt the sale.  Looks like a great color! Be honest with yourself and any potential buyers on pricing!  Ask $4,000, drop the price to $3,000 after a month.  If someone offers $2,000, take it!  If the floors and underside look like the bottom of the doors, the car will probably become a parts car.  Convertibles are probably worth double the price of coupes.  Do you have a title?
