Bronc Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I am new to this board, so I hope I obey the rules. I have an uncle that is leaving the state and wants to sell my dad and I his 1949 Ford Coupe. He bought it new, and it has not spent many nights outside. It has light hail damage on it. It has been in the Texas Panhandle it's whole life (very dry climate ) so I'm guessing it has very little rust on it. My dad is going to go by and look at it this weekend and see what he thinks about it. It is all original parts from what I understand. Can anyone give me a ballpark range of what this car may be worth? I know there is lots of variables but if someone could tell me what I need to look for, such as what engine does it have and which one is prefered, etc. I am antique car illiterate. Please help!!

DizzyDale Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Dear Bronc,The Old Cars Price Guide i have on hand dated 2004 says a #4 is 4,000 and #1 is 20,000.#4 is a good driveable car.Hopefully it has the flathead V-8 which IS the preferred powerplant.Many variables including how well you get along with your Uncle.If it was me i would give you the car knowing it was going to people that were going to give it the attention it deserves.diz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronc Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 Will you be my uncle? I love ya, man hahaFrom what I understand, it is driveable. Where can I go to get the clasification definitions, ie #1, #4 - driveable, etc.Like I said, I know nothing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
