Guest RileyUSMan Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 What is an unrestored pretty clean but not running 1927 Dodge Brothers 2 Door worth approx.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 They didn't build any 2 door sedans in 1927. They did in 26 but stopped part way through the 26 model year. So it either isn't a 27 or are you mistakenly calling a coupe a 2 door? Also there was 3 distinct models in 27 so serial numbers or at least pictures would be very helpful.

Guest 1930 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I would include more pict, its going to be tough to find someone stupid enough to spend 12 gees with one pict posted. I think your asking price is more than fair from what I see and read, maybe even a little light in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickBrinker Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 My opinion is I would pass on this one' Its been painted before and would need striped to repaint.The spokes are cracked.And the interior would be costly to fix.Just my opinon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Jason, I see 43 pictures on the EBAY page. Looks to be a decent driver to me. Spokes are a little scary, not sure the rattle can black and silver helped anything. Should have all white gauges. Should have larger tires (5.25x21) . Several things not correct, like the seat upholstery. But all in all not too bad looking. A little elbow grease and some wheel work it could be a respectable driver. I do think it is too much money. Nowell, I sold the 24 coupe for $3000.00 , assuming he comes back on the 3rd to pick it up. He left a deposit. This 27 is much nicer than mine. My 24 runs fine but body is rusty and needs total restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Maybe I did not let them load or maybe he took my advice, I especially like picture 11 and 13, can anyone guess why I guess it is not nearly as nice as I thought it looked in the first picture so I would have to change my opinion, that first picture that I viewed and the story behind the car really sold me so I would at this point have to agree that it is another 3500 dollar car. Too bad you cant keep it in the family, good luck with your auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RileyUSMan Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I agree not the 12500 he is asking but I dont think 3500 either, I thought -6500 ish??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 1930 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Can anyone tell me what the air cleaner looking deal is mounted on the top of the manifold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 uh, air cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Knowing little about the 4 cyl cars I see the carb on the drivers side, I am not understanding why the air cleaner is on the manifold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M R Simpers Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've been noticing this '27 on e-bay also.Most 27's have a "D" engine and their title lists a "D" motor; however, this car has a 12 volt system and the "reversed" shift pattern. This motor doesn't match the title. It ain't no "D" engine. Isn't this a 1926 or earlier? Where did they find those acorn headlights? Also, are those acorn parking lights correct? My 1927 parking lights are more drum like in form.Most 1927's had the brass radiator emblem and not the colorful cloiseney (sic) emblem. There is a horn bracket on the head, but the horn in the cardboard box looks like a Model "A" Ford horn. I agree, from an HOPV standpoint, it is too bad that they wasted so much money on rattle cans. They at least could have masked off the door handles. It took 3 cans of silver to do the bumpers.As for the "air cleaner on the manifold", I've been wondering about that also. Maybe it is a donut warmer.....M.R.Cocoa, FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texacola Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 This is a "C" motor...6volt,Although the ammeter(out of car) is an incorrect 12v (12/12 rather than 20/20 used for 6v. Same motor as my 1927 (series) Sept 1926 build and titled as a 1927. The horn (brackets(2))are correct ,horn is not.The air "cleaner" is correct .It is mounted to a seperate chamber (attached to exhaust mani. with a pipe that runs thru the block(between 2&3 cyl.)to the carb on the other side of block.Inside is a spinner deal designed (I guess) ) to keep bolders out...primitive air cleaner.I guess better than the lack of any air cleaner on my '28 model A.

Guest RileyUSMan Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 So the bottom line, do you guys think this is a good car for me to buy? If yes how much is it worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RileyUSMan Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 It's a mute point now someone bought it off of ebay for $9000.00 - WAY TOO MUCH IN MY OPPINION!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 1930, sorry for the short answer on the air cleaner. Texacola has it right. The earlier cars also drew the air through the engine and through a heated scoop built into the exhaust manifold. In late 26 when they went to 6 volt, they put that centrifical air cleaner on them. I refer to it as keeping "birds and rocks and small children out of the carb". It is cool to watch it spin as one revs up the engine! I have one on my 22 screenside. All the pieces will bolt right on if you use ALL of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Saw this on another post and it has the same air cleaner...never have noticed them before and today I've seen two!Dodge : Dodge Brothers | eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 M R Simpers. The headlights and cowl lights are from a "Sport" 26 or 27. However the dash is not a sport. Early 27 and the 126 model 1927 Sports used those. 124 1927 Sport used a smaller drum light that was nickel plated. I can only assume that either they were purchased as an option or someone swapped them out. BTW, 124's didn't have cowl lights at all. I gave an early 27 4 dr to my daughter, it is a "Deluxe" which used the Sport dash and the bullet headlights and cowl lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 1927 models can get confusing. 3 different engines. "C" engine in the early "Undesignated" series, "D" engine in the 126 series, then a completely different "D" engine, which became known unofficially as the "fast four" engine in the 124 series. This 124 also had the SAE shift pattern instead of the old DB pattern. It is NOT the same car as the 1928 128/129 "Fast Four", except for the engine. Throw in Standards, Specials, Sports, Deluxe, DB's 1st Cabriolet which was only in the last 3 months of 1927 production as a 124 model and you can see why there are so many questions!

Guest 1930 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I also went looking on net like you Bob and have seen two others with same cleaner, lots of good info Dave ( most of which I have already forgot ) and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M R Simpers Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Interesting comment about no cowl lights on the 1927 Series 124.I have them on my Cantrell bodied woodie (aka Suburban) wagon. Of course, heaven knows why they are there or how they got there. I've never seen them on other Cantrells from 1927. Thanks....M.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
