Thank you for all the information. I'll reach out to them on Monday.

Great points. Enclosed sounds like the smart option, but will definitely increase the cost. Will a hauler have a winch or some other way to get the car onto the trailer?

Thank you @alsancle and @auburnseeker. That is around where I was landing. If I do get the car I would try to get it running again. Any recommendations on a service that could get it from CA to CT given that it doesn't run? Thanks again!

My uncle passed away in December, just shy of his 86th birthday, and I'm trying to get an estimated value for his '32 PB Roadster. He purchased the car in 1961 in CT and kept garaged even while he moved several times, ending up in CA. It's current sitting in the garage with flat tires and I've been told the part that's required to make it run is sitting on it ready to be installed, but I don't know when it last ran. He made modification early on. It is my understanding that it has a small block chevy corvette engine and he did other custom work including the following: Replace the bumpers with street rod style bumpers Installed internal hinges. Modified the headlights. Removed the spare tires and patched the front fenders. Replaced the convertible cover. Replaced the tires and probably suspension/axle work. I'm considering making an offer to keep it in the family since he had it so long, but I'm finding it hard to find comps because of all the modification. What would people say is a fair value for the car or any recommendations on how to acquire a good valuation? The car has to be sold to help cover medical expenses for his wife. I'd also have to figure out how to have it transferred back to CT. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've never seen the car in person, but here's an old picture from when it was working: Here are a few more recent pictures. (Some of these were posted on another thread by @AdamInNH )
