Hi
For comparison, here's that chalky-blue '37 Super Eight sedan with the postwar engine listed by Copart Auctions: copart.com/us/Lot/19068566?searchId=2075483843 Someone has bid $24.5K as of today. Get a load of their "Est. Retail Value" : $130,000 USD! Apparently Copart typically overestimates collector car values, witness this '54 Clipper Sportster with the '56 taillights and 'continental kit' back porch: copart.com/us/Lot/37638035?searchId=2075483843 Buy It Now price: $9,500, Est. Retail Value: $38,300 USD.... Steve

You had me scared there as I was wondering who would bid that amount, but no one has bid on the car yet. If you go back to the CL ad in the upper-right corner it says "No Bid." So I think that is their initial bid amount. Their second listing starts at $125.

1935 eight convertible coupe. On the outside it's still looks ok, but underneath it's skin...
 miami.craigslist.org/pbc/cto/5511023847.html To bad it got butchered. Especially the dash. I love the original dash in the 35-37 senior cars and then to see this. But on a positive note; looking at the data plate there were a lot more convertible coupes build then I thought!

Estimate according to Blackman is 183 produced which now needs to be revised a bit. Remember numbering for seniors in 1935 began at 201. Gosh, it hurts so much to see such a rare car mongrelized.

Update on the 35 convertible coupe. Seller found it in Belgium in a museum and enjoyed the car for a while but found it too hard to keep up with modern traffic so he decided to "update" it. Engine & transmission went to a guy that wanted to keep his car stock, and that helped pay for the new updates.

Thought this '53 would be a good start for someone who wants a 2 door.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5510722390.html I've seen the '54 in San Luis Obispo, its a Fred Flintstone if anyone cares. I know it starts and drives well. Seller is very nice but the car does need some work.
