Guest cb36t Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hi, I have a 1914 Crow Elkhart roadster and I am wondering what the market value on it is? It is complete and in good condition and runs fine although I rarely drive it. Does anybody know, or know where I can find out? I don't plan on selling it but I get asked that question whenever I tell anyone about it. I have looked online but can't find anything. Thanks for your help.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cb36t Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I will try to post some pics in the next couple of days, It's kinda buried in my garage. Thanks for your reply. Off hand do you have a ball park range for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Also need horse power, CID, wheel base, tire size, and condition will also be needed to get a ballpark of value. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 A 1913 Crow-Elkhart, beautiful restoration, sold for over $45K a few years ago. Value of yours somewhat south of that, I'd guess, depending on how buried it is!!! Let's see some pictures when you can, they're nice looking cars.....good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is not buried with stuff on top if it, but there is a ton of crap around it and in front of it. It will take some effort to clear the path to roll it out.

trimacar Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yep, the thing that hurts a stored car's value more than anything is being used as a shelf...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm embarrassed to show you mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 chuckle....I've done my best to prevent cars from being used as a shelf, but a picture of my 1910 Hudson project would make you think of the Clampetts moving to Beverly Hills, what with the stuff piled on the chassis!!

Let me know if you are interested and I will contact him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btiwu93 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I would definitely be interested in the Elcar and appreciate you contacting him and sharing my email address with him. I would appreciate if you would keep my name and email in case you decide to sell the Crow. I would love to have first crack at it. I have a deep family connection to Crow Elkhart Motors but no one in the family had the foresight to keep one in the family.Thanks!

Bobby TurnerHi, you say you have a deep family connection to Crow Elkhart Motors...I have a family connection to Crow Elkhart cars. My dad owns a 1918 Crow Elkhart that we would like to get someone to restore. We aren't interested in selling it but would like to have more information on the cars and would like to find someone to restore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btiwu93 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sorry C.A. I obviously haven't been on here in a while. I'm just now seeing your note. I don't know a ton about the company because the last family member with any connection passed away in the mid 90s. The car was made in Elkhart, Indiana from 1906 to the early 20s. Because of financial reasons, the company was run by others its last few years in existence. Your dad's 1918 is probably one of the last years the company was owned by the Crow family. I've often wondered what I would do about restoration if I ever got my hands on one, but that's a problem I wouldn't mind having. Sorry I'm not much help with that. I'd love to see some pictures if you got a chance to send some. If you ever consider selling, please keep me in mind. I would love to get one back in the family and I can't think of a better way of getting my kids interested in antique cars. Thanks, and best wishes - Bobby Turner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
