38coupe Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hello,My father is trying to sell his 1930 Pontiac sedan. He purchased the car 40 years ago as his first old car, and has collected parts for it ever since. He never quite had the time or space to restore the car and realizes now that he never will.The car is in very good shape for an un-restored car. There is no sign of any wood deterioration, the doors close perfectly, and the original interior is in very good shape. The car got a very poor black paint job about 50 years ago but there is no deep rust anywhere. I doubt that the car has ever sat outside. Along with the car is a parts car and another engine, transmission, drive shaft, and rear axle.My father is asking 5,000 for everything. Does this seem like a reasonable price? What do you think is the best way to sell the car so that it does not end up a street rod? I am a flathead Ford guy and am not familiar with the early Pontiac area of the old car hobby. Please see the pictures of the car, parts car, and extra drive line. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you have.The car:The parts car:The extra drive train: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kaycee Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi, A great car like this deserves to be restored or cleaned up . Cleaned up it should bring about $7,500- $8,500 minimum in my opinion. Ask the interested buyers what there plans are for the car. The extra parts should bring dollars from Pontiac owners if they're not sold with the car. $5,000 is giving it away if it runs half way decent. Good luck! kaycee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38coupe Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 kaycee,The engine in the good car has a cracked block. The parts engine will run but needs a valve fixed, and the parts car engine will run but should be rebuilt. What do you think the value should be given the engine situation?Thanks for the response,Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 With the engine problem I think the $5000 is more correct for pricing.....and unfortunately for a car that, albeit fairly rare, needs a lot of work, even that might be high...IMHO ...
