1930 dodge sedan

[byrnesy]

My friend found this 1930's ish dodge sedan sitting in someones backyard in a nearby town.
I'll be going tomorrow to have a decent look at it but was just wondering on what sorta price i should be paying for it if i decide to go through with it. He says he wants around $4000 [S

Everything is still there on it, and the guy still has the original wire wheels and engine in his shed and its from a dry climate so it isn't too rusty he reckons.(anything that inst a pickup seems to be quite hard to find in Australia witch has got me interested)

Any advice on the beast would be helpful before i go and make an insulting offer haha

Well, as a buyer $4000 would insult me for that car. Not that it isn't cool but $1500 would be tops for what I see.

I would value that car much the same as WB3 does, but we don't live in Australia. Hopefully some Aussie members will pipe up. HALLnRODZ perhaps?

Yeah that's the more like what i thought it would be worth, as we all know what you ask and what you get are two different things haha i'll take some more photos when i go look at it today.

What's it worth to you in Australia? Around here you could probably sell a 4dr like that for $2,000. If I took a weekend and drove to where Willowbilly3 lives, I bet I could find something as good or better for $500.

Thing is it's a 4dr, if that's not what you're after, what will you do with it? Make it like a Bantam 2dr?

If i got it i think I'd just put a flathead v8 in it and call it a day haha
I prefer the shape of the 4 door and they don't seem to come up for sale very often around here , so if the guys willing to take around $2000-$3000 for it i think I'll buy it

BTW, I didn't mean Bantam like this...

I meant like this...

Or this ex Fordor...

I went to have a look at it today, i forgot those old things are half made of wood and conveniently it had been in a fire at some point so all the floor was gone. and it was quite rusty.
she might be a bit to ambitious of a project for a noob like me haha i think i'll stick with doing my 49 pickup for the time being
