I have two 1948 Henney Hearse's I would like to sell. They were both running in the past but have not been run for quite a while. But sure I could get them running again without too much trouble. I have tried to find perhaps a selling price for each but have not had much luck finding hearse prices anywhere. Can anyone give me any idea of what I should perhaps ask? They are in kind of a special category thus a little difficult to price. Because of this, not sure if that would lower the price or perhaps make them a little more valuable? Not everyone wants to own a hearse no doubt. I know the engines alone are hard to come by, and they alone would perhaps govern the price.

You would need to say quite a bit more about them, such as exactly WHICH 1948 Henney hearse they are as there were many (combinations, end-loaders, side-loaders, etc.) along with which of the two main styles they are: limousine (windows all around) and landau (blanked rear C-panels). A list of options wouldn't hurt either but most importantly photos - lots of photos. No chance without those.

Having said that, a typical rule of thumb is that a hearse's value is similar to that of the equivalent closed sedan passenger car BUT with a far more limited market.
