Hello folks

I'm new to the group.  I have owned the 37 Zephyr 3 window for over 20 yrs.   I don't have any idea what it is worth.  It is a complete car.  V12, trans, waterfall dash finder skirts, running boards, window glass, bumpers. Floor completly gone.  I am seriously considering selling it but I need to know what its value is.  Any help would be greatly appreicated.  (Please keep wise cracks to yourself)  I dont know why my photos are upside down sorry for that.  I would love to hear what you have to say.  The car is in Kentucky

In the old car hobby,  any car can be restored----   with enough money and parts.  The 1937 Lincoln Zephyr was a rare car and most did not survive.

This car could be saved..... but with the help of a donner '37 sedan.  Some time ago, perhaps 2 or 3years ago ; some one on this site was restoring a '37 coupe just like yours..... what a job!  But he was making progress! If you wish to sell  it , move it out of the" high wet grass" and place it in a garage or under some kind of cover so as to offer a better view. Perhaps start at ,say $2, 000 ; and go from there. Good luck--- Larry

I think a better question for the HAMB.  Although if I recall,  they do not like "whats it worth?" questions.

 

It won't be restored,  but it absolutely could be turned into a custom.    I'm sure you have an inkling that the value is more than the usual pile of rust.  99% of cars in that shape would have zero value, but this is worth more than what most people would think.  Just not to the guys on there.

 

I would put it on eBay.

I agree with Larry, if you were closer I would pay 2000 for it. If you made it roll I think you would double your money. Here’s some pictures of my coupe/sedan conglomeration. I know many would be upset at my advice, but doing it over I would have cut up the best sedan I could afford. If I did I would be driving by now!😁

I agree with the doubling your money on the rolling.  But in the end,  the custom guys will spend a lot more than we will.  I think it could bring 5-7k on eBay.
