Lynn Park 10 Posted April 27, 2011 A friend of mine is asking me to sell a 1930 Chrysler Model 77 coupe and I'm having a difficult time establishing a fair price. Not some flowery appraisal number, but an actual price someone would pay for the car. Thanks, Lynn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynn Park 10 Posted April 28, 2011 It's a really nice restoration, done maybe twenty-five years ago. Car runs pretty good, has a bit of a front-end wobble at about 40 MPH, but it's a good, solid car. Photos to follow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keiser31 3,647 Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) WOW! It's a nice one folks!! I figure $18,000.00 to $20,000.00. I could be way off, but it sure is beautiful. Maybe someone else can guess a worth. Edited April 28, 2011 by keiser31 (see edit history) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
West Peterson 453 Posted April 28, 2011 I suspect that $18-20,000 may be close to correct, knowing that there's probably three times that amount in its restoration. Great taste in picking colors and choosing black tires. I'd love to have it, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

West Peterson 453 Posted April 30, 2011 It's normally great value buying a car already restored, versus paying for the restoration yourself.... especially for mass production cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackie1 12 Posted March 18 We still own this Chrysler as we decide not to sell it. It has a dark history, it was last upholstered by the hillside stranger in his shop in Glendale ca. Right before he was caught. We now have it stored in Kalispell Montana and are thinking of selling it. At one time MR Leno was interested in buying it but we were not ready to sell yet. We are getting it cleaned up to sell and may approach MR Leno to see if he is still interested and see if he will make us an offer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trulyvintage 218 Posted March 19 (edited) Kenneth Bianchi claimed most of the Hillside Strangler murders were committed at Angelo Buono’s Upolstery Shop at 703 East Colorado Street in Glendale, California. No offense - but I can’t see anyone wanting to own that car except perhaps a Death Museum. Jim Edited March 19 by Trulyvintage (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JACK M 1,432 Posted March 19 I doubt that its haunted. An interesting story that probably doesn't change any value. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Wetherbee 226 Posted March 19 I agree with Jack, it’s a great looking car that I think is worth every penny of 20k plus some, but the extra storyline isn’t worth another nickel IMO. As for spooky, really? This isn’t a B rated horror flick, it’s a car folks... and a pretty good looking one too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
