Question for the car enthusiasts

the*scarlet*pimpernel — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 09:06:20 GMT

How much would a pair of 1947 chev sedans in complete, but really really poor condition, be worth?

One definitely runs, the other hasn't been tested. The interiors are **bleep**. One is missing a door. I don't think there's an real rust to speak of.

hmm. an extra one for parts is a good idea

are they 2 door coupes, and how much are they asking?

its a matter of what the market will pay . lots of work there, what you need is a kid who doesn't know what he's getting himself in for.

I can't find any recent (or historical) sales of vehicles of this era in this condition, so I really don't have any idea.

could put them out there somewhere like gumtree "offers" to see what sort of response you'll get?

Pimpy-the freight costs would be thousands of dollars to

move those -um cars interstate.

Contact a vintage car club in a near by town..............Richo.

All offers considered sounds good, thank you.

I know the current owner paid a couple of grand for them but they were in better nick back then. Well the upholstery was in very good condition, but they have been sitting in the weather for years. 😞

well i've been that kid. the liberal attitude would be to force a 70 year old to restore it for free at gunpoint.
