Peter S Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Yes, the pictures are dim and there are no claims made for an uncorroded body or floor, but this looks like a substantial, running car for $8K. It would be such a shame if people came to believe that all these came from the factory as street rods. Not mine and I haven't seen it. Seller says car's in the Pittsburgh area. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/216163900148109/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ab8a60fb3-6ecd-4d93-93b9-09872b0b167d 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business coupes will sell. Assuming it is worse than the picture (they always are) then I'm thinking 5-6k? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) True alsuncle as one only has to go on E-Bay to see that. Perhaps my opinion is colored by being from the poor side of town? I tend to have trouble visualizing a restored car without the required pile of money next to it.

Peter S Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Yeah, it is hard to know the real selling price of most cars. I'd guess that a $7000 to $9500 range is typical for asked prices running Mopar coupes of the just-pre to just post-war vintage. And street rodders will spend big bucks to rod them! In the next body shop bay to my Hudson is a 40 DeSoto coupe that' needed tons of floor and panel work. It's being fitted for an SBC and will have so little DeSoto left that the owner jokes about not remounting the nameplate. Can't help thinking it would have saved money to have started with this one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malo48 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I really dig this one - if it was closer, I'd go look. I'd just drive as-is, no restoration and no small-block Chevy. Hmm, who do I know in the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I really like this car and the price is not too bad either. After the restoration of my car, I would be concerned with the availability of parts for this car. I searched for a year for the door latch mechanism for my car before I found one.
