Steve_Mack_CT Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Charles, geographics may play into the price ranges to some degree.In general terms, while these are all over the map, decent, #3 30 - 31 roadsters can be had in the 18 - 22K range, and I am aware of an older restoration locally, not running but looking nice at around $12K. You will see higher prices on these but there are so many around I would go with what appears to be the prevailing price for a frame of reference.These look like interesting projects, maybe in the $8 - 10K range per, since you are likely buying to resell, I might go in at a bit less, especially if you are bringing an offer to take both. Assumes these are as solid as they appear in the pics. Like I said, not rare cars but a relatively strong following, and not too many original roadsters left in unrestored condition. Good luck - are you looking to restore or resell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesK Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Most probably going to resell it.or turn it into a rat rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I see now there is only one roadster, and I think a pick up in the background. The P/U is not worth 8-10 K though, I would say a couple grand less but that is just a swag since there it not much detail to go on.Hope you sell the roadster - make a few dollars and see it go to a good home. Too nice in "rat rod" I think - make a couple dollars on this deal and you can get one already "ratted out" on eBay any day of the week and have less work to do - everyone wins...

CarlLaFong Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 For the love of God and everything holy, do not butcher that car into a rat rod. Why does everything, these days, have to be turned into one of those ill conceived abortions? Why turn a 10K car into a 5K pile of junk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvinokor Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 That's a nice start to a roadster restoration. I would say around 7k for it and please sell it to someone willing to put the effort into restoring it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete K. Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I have to say that the roadster should be put back the way it was new, or semi- restored/original. Unless you're an artist with metal, building a rat rod is brain surgery, even then, you'll not like the way it will handle on the road. You'll probably never get your money back from all the work you'll need to put into making it into a crap-rod. My vote is to "just flip it" and move on.
