Trying to figure year and model

[lelshaddai]

I am in the process of picking up two cars. One we think is a 1926 Buick. I do not have an engine or chassis number yet. All I have is the pictures right now. The Buick is on the Buick forum if someone wants to identify it. We have a best guess that this may be a 28-29 Chevy but not sure of model or year. Can someone help us to identify this car?

After more research this may be a 1927 AA Capitol. Correct me please if it is something different.

Yep she is a 1927 capital

Is the car worth $200? I will have to get a bonded title but it is an old friend's fathers cars and a bonded title is easy in AZ.

[Vintageben]

Oh how I wish some of these cars were in Australia I would pay $200 for that in a blink. But it’s not in Australia so I probably shouldn’t comment on values as I understand they are very different over there compared to here, you may be better to ask on The Veteran and Vintage Chevrolet club of America site. Best of luck

Since both are GM products are there any parts that are interchangeable?

[DLynskey]

Very few, if any parts a interchangeable. With  the wood body construction you could buy a restored one for less than it would cost to restore this Chevy. But if you want the experience it looks basically complete and would be a good candidate to start with.

 

I expect there would be far more than $200 worth of parts if you wanted to part it out. Heck, I'll bet the radiator shell alone would bring $200, and all the sheet metal looks straight and not rusted. Plus you wouldn't need a title.
