Troy, the nada price guides for prewar cars to me is as useless as tits on a bull! If that price guide was accurate I would be a rich. I think it a good tool for postwar production cars but not to these prewar cars.

Quote:

I have to agree. Further, I don't use it for postwar Packards either.

Consider:
NADA shows the high retail value on a 1948 Station Sedan as $127,300.00. While for a 1950 Station Sedan it's $107,900.00. Almost a $20,000.00 difference for EXACTLY the same vehicle. The only difference is the data plate.

I'm guessing these numbers are derived from high end auction houses that double as 'reality' shows.

I agree 10,000% but I only used it as a reference against current listing and recent sales on Pre-1940's since Their is not a good data base on these.

Nada values work great on 69 mustang etc.
Henry, the value depends all on how the drivetrain is. But overall I think you're in the right ballpark.

thanks guys, I emailed and text messaged questions. no response so far. I will call next. I always wonder why people post things and never respond to any of the methods of communication that are listed as acceptable.

and being its 2016...email and text are acceptable forms of first contact for initial questions before calling to set up the sale or inspection.

update on the 36 in Houston.

they finally replied. said they didn't know much about it. that they got it in a storage auction.

they said the had a mechanic look and that it does not run and needs a starter. could be starter gone, needs rebuilt...or just crappy wiring. I asked if it turned by hand.

seller says they are working on getting title in their name and that the mechanic said the motor was free.

the seller says the DMV told them all they needed was a bill of sale and proof of winning the auction and they would get a new title.

I'm thinking my friend should do an initial offer of 5k. thoughts?

Might tell your friend about the 36 120B Touring Coupe in Hye. They might consider selling it. It is at the Hye Market in Hye (between Johnson City and Fredericksburg).

Here are some photos I took a couple of years ago. We went by it recently and it looks the same.

thanks John. I will let her know. I did show her the 37 115c in Seattle, but she is stuck on the side-mounts on the 36.

If it was me I would buy the 37 myself. 22k is a steal on that car considering the shape it is in. (see a couple of pages back)

that touring coupe looks like it would clean up nicely. i'll see what she say. any contact info for that car if she is interested??

You can Google the Hye Market for their contact info. I had it at one time but must have thrown it away.

Here it is:

Hye Market

Thanks John, any idea what that is on the trunk area? accessory brake light? aftermarket turn signal? I'm not a prewar expert by any means.
