I'll go on record and say at least 65k. If it will clean up as is a dealer will pay more than that and advertise it for 100k after it is running.

Cool project. I have always liked these. Please keep us posted.

I think they all had dual spares. Plus a real one that you could use in the trunk. What makes it expensive is the fact it is an open Packard. Even the 110 open cars seem to bring strong money and a 120 Conv coupe is a 70-80k car restored properly.

The market treats a one-off by a known coachbuilder on a the big chassis much differently than a standard body on a small chassis. I tend to agree with the numbers being thrown around in this thread. The car restored is not a super high dollar car. Done really well, maybe 35-45k?

I know of an identical 35 that was an older restoration that sold for 70k in 1992 and 120k in 2002. I think your estimates are low.

Mine came in yesterday. Very happy to have finally obtained a copy. They were crazy expensive (when the were available) prior to this printing.

There is a scale with two end points. The high school kid who works all summer to pull together 1k to buy his beat up rust bucket dream car is at one end. The billionaire buying a 25 million dollar car is at the other end. The kid has 100% of his net work tied up in the car. I would no more cast aspersions on him or question his motives or desires then I would the billionaire. Everyone on this board falls somewhere between the two end points and we all have one common trait which is a love of cars.

I think we hashed this out in other thread. The difference in spelling implied "built in". At least that is my hazy recollection.

I love the patina.

Also, if the email brings up zero hits in google it is brand new. The chances of a scam are 100x greater when they contact you vs you contacting them first.

A number of them have been offered for public sale over the last 20 years or so. I assume the consignor was the purchaser at the time.

There are some familiar faces in that list. I guess we know where they all went. Most prewar MB models are rare but there are a few here that there may be only one or two of still existing. When you see that many cars listed no reserve you know they are really for sale. Hard to play games with that large a number.

These questions are probably best answered over in the acd club forum: AUBURN CORD DUESENBERG CLUB :: Index I do not believe that the ACD deducts for over restoration of the block.

Yes. It seems like they have at least one of every model MB made in the 1930s.

Who is the guy in Canada? Ted's cars were built between 1973-1980 in Massachusetts. There were 11 total I believe. More info on the ACD website.

Cool.

If it is nice shape, solid runs well, nice interior, I'll say not more than 4 or 5k. The Buick guys will give you a better idea I'm sure.

Not to pick on you but it is funny how many people post questions asking for value help and fail to mention anything about the car. Given the information you provided, it could be anywhere from 500.00 to 75k.

A single high quality picture could be worth a thousand words.

A 1939 170 Roadster restored by my friend Henry Magno.

Ron, have fun. I brought a car to St Johns last year and it is a very well done show. I'm sure they will have some great cars there. Since you are finishing the car today I assume you are not 12 hours away from Plymouth MI.

It looks like a 38/39 120 but very hard given the small size of your photo. Someone else may do better than me.

The Cab B is running the Michelin 750 Radials which are too big and do not look right.

7 or 8 years ago that Cab C sold privately for a very reasonable price. There were a few issues with it but a nice not too old restoration. It will be interesting to see how it does now.

The prices for most Model J parts are fairly well established. Put them on eBay and post a link in the ACD forum.
