Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I have a chance to pick up a 1935 120 Convertible. Looks to be in really nice (unrestored) shape. I am wondering if anyone on here can help me with info on it's rarity (can't find much info about them on the internet) and roughly what it's worth.

I am a muscle car guy, so I know nothing about these. Any help would be great.

I am just buying it to resell. I want to sell it quick so what would a quick sell market value be? I'm not looking to hold onto it for the 'right' buyer.

Thanks

For the right price, I'll buy it. So would you, obviously.
Yes, I am a serious cash buyer, Cash, Truck and Trailer ready.
Per recommendation, best to PM me, as Kevin says we shouldn't post email or phone numbers...

A top notch car would be worth $60-$70K. I put the value of that car which appears to be a driver at $30K.

Hi Trozfan, welcome to Packard Info.

Value in this time of the NYSE taking 1000 point swings every other week is a tough question. 3 - 4 years ago I would whole hardily agree with Tbirdman. Currently, I would be very cautious about moving if just to flip. Things are sluggish right now. I have been shopping things around that I plan to sell and the picture is bleak. This is a very neat car and perhaps it will be reasonable enough that you can come out good while leaving enough room for a quick sale.

Best of luck on this,
Jim

to PackardInfo. After you buy it and before you resell it I invite you to include the '35 in the Packard Owner's Registry here, together with a pic, any known history and the story of your acquisition of it?

Not sure what tbirdman meant by "top notch" so I might disagree on the upper end of the value range; a 1936 120 convertible coupe, an outstanding restoration with multiple AACA awards including the Parkin Award sold fairly recently for very appreciably more than his high figure. I personally found the figure a bit hard to fathom, especially in comparsion to some senior cars, but I will say it was about as impeccable and entirely authentic a restoration as you will ever see.

OD,

Top notch refers to an excellent restored show car. Regarding the sale that is higher than the 70K, there are always exceptions like a 115 convertible that sold for well over 100K at Barrett Jackson a few years ago.

If I was going to spend that money you refer to, I'd buy a light eight convertible.
