Jsims Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 My father-in-law just took delivery of an inherited family car. 1929 Nash Coupe. They had it listed as a 435 but thinking it’s a 434 because of the rumble seat. It’s in ROUGH shape. Does not run but motor is not seized and does turn by hand. He’s looking to sell to help fund the other project in the background (1963.5 galaxie 500 xl). Not a lot of Nash info out there so asking for any help to ballpark a value on the car. I know, it’s worth what someone will pay, but looking for a fair value. $800-$1000? TIA. Located in Colorado. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Neat car! I would start a bit higher, say 2500 Best Offer. Unfortunately from our perspective, as a 3 window they buyer will probably be thinking hot rod. After a few weeks if the best offer you see is 800 bucks then take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kar3516 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 If it’s a long time Colorado car the sheet metal may actually be solid under the surface rust. This will be important to the buyer. Condition of the structural wood will limit the value to a restorer, but it won’t matter as much to a street rodder as they will replace it with steel. I agree that $2500 is a better starting price for a three window coupe. It looks reasonably complete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Start at 2 1/2 grand if they ask what is your bottom price go down to $2,000 in a sheepish way, wait for a reply. For Sh-ts & gig--s what year plates are on it? The tires have goo tread too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Deringer Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The wire wheels and hubs themselves are worth twice that. Just my $.02. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFeeney Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 A young person could purchase it, redo it over time and be happy and not under water when done, He would need to do most of the work himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
