Leif in Calif Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I've certainly seen worse...the big question mark is going to be wood in the body. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/woodland-1929-chevy-door-sedan/7604466058.html New tires and tubes, it runs but is not drivable as the clutch is stuck to the flywheel. Unable to get to this project and need to get it out of the storage location. Asking for $5500 or best reasonable offer email: fe64966a14ab3353b979875b826f5e86@sale.craigslist.org 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal Hepatica Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) I long ago asked an "old timer" car guy why so many Model A's were around, and so few Chevy's of the era. He said "their wood bodies fell apart." This car seems to punctuate his appraisal.

wayne sheldon Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Sadly, I would say the pictures tell the story. It appears the doors are seriously sagging and all ready to fall off! The front pillar is not lining up with the roof on either side. Just from the pictures I would speculate that no more than half the original wood might be salvageable. And let me clarify that by saying I have managed to salvage some pretty marginal wood in years past! If it was a car I wanted? (It isn't!) If I was ten years younger and had a lot more time to work on my projects? (I am not and don't!) I would consider something like this. And I already have too many projects I don't have time for. I hope it finds a good home with someone that has the skills and desire to see it through. Sadly, the odds are very against that happening these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdillinger Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) It would be a fun project but not for $5,500 and likely needing every stick of wood replaced. I'd take a chance for $2,000, though. Edited March 30, 2023 by zdillinger (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 1500. buy in this would be a good place to start. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished my Pontiac and it was fun... but I probably won't take on a Fisher Body project again for a little while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
