'36 3 Window Coupe
There is a relatively nice '36 Ford 3W Coupe on the auction site that's up to 66,100 $'s right now. It's not mine and I have no financial interest in its sale. I just really admire any of the Early Ford 3W Coupes, and I'm listed to be notified when they appear on various action sites. It seems to me these 3W coupe body styles are now right up there in desirability and price in most cases with the Roadster and Cabriolet body styles.

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
Very nice! That sure is fetching a high dollar. Now I know I got a great deal on my 35 three window.
I'll have to watch that one to see what the end result is. |

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
How can you believe an ad like his when the guy doesn't even know what year his car is?

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
Reviewing the pic' attached to the eBay listing I noted several items on the car that seem a little suspect to me.
The grille shell should be painted on the sides, not chrome. The front springs have reverse spring eyes and the rear shocks are the Delco type. I also noted that the brake backing plates are not '36 mechanical and/or 39-48 hydraulics. The wheels are not Ford, they do have '47-48 style of Ford hub caps... I know my observations and comments might appear to be nit picking, however, the right-up for the eBay add in my opinion is rather vague and miss leading.

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
Hi Everyone. JM Thanks for the heads-up on this beauty!
I also noticed some telltale signs of work on it. Modern wiring probably for add-on gauges, dual exhaust, 'new carpet?', no spare tire. At $66,100, and after 17 bids, it still hasn't hit the reserve yet!

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
Way too much $ for this car. In an auction, all it takes are two unknowledgeable, passionate bidders with too much money to drive the bid way past the objects value. A good thing for the seller.

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
There are many factors that determine the value of an old car. Cars in CA seem to demand higher prices. Maybe there is some interesting history/ownership that some of the "knowledgeable" bidders are aware of? Most of the bodywork, paint and detail look exceptional in the pictures, maybe even better if you have seen the car in person. Some people like the factor that a car has many perks that set it aside from a run of the mill concourse restored vehicle. We are all different in what we will pay for something.

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
I may be stating the obvious but this car is no where near the stock version. Just in its stance alone it all screams much more than stock. We have funny gauges, not sure about the brakes but they are not mechanical, it says (flathead?) V8 but who knows, etc, etc. No, I think the $66k presently will go up further, perhaps into the 80s - there is much more to this car that warrants the price I think. I would love to see it in person - it has a real old-time hot rod that intrigued me, especially it being a 3-window ....
Just my 2 cents .... |

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
That it's a 'Roy Brizio' car says it all....
Brizio has built several cars for Eric Clapton and other such high rollers.... http://www.rodauthority.com/news/eri...-window-coupe/

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
There are ways to sell things on flea-pay that can be attention grabbers. Since the car has not yet met reserve, there may be some shill bidding going on there. This is not against any flea-pay policy that I am aware of. Even after it makes reserve (if it does), there is still nothing to guarantee that shill bidding is not going on. It looks to me like they are puffing it up for a higher dollar sale to a compulsive buyer. The seller may also be a compulsive buyer too. It is a very nice car but it is not completely original so that right there tells a story that is a bit less than honest in my book.

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
I never stated that it was but you know as well as I do that this stuff can happen so there is no point in arguing about it. If you read the add carefully, he states it is in all original condition so the hot rod thing was added later. The car is way beyond any price that I would pay for it so it really doesn't matter to me and likely not to too many others either. The gold chainer guys are all in this territory and I'm certainly not one of those.

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
I like V8 Fords just like everybody BUT I think P T Barnum is more in order here.....A FOOL AND HIS MONEY......$66,000 plus and still hasn't reached its minimum.....There is NO 36 three window in this world worth $66,000 Unless a dealer has a brand new one left in stock somewhere (Which I highly doubt)

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
Hi Everyone. I see conflicting signs in this shot also. Dash paint very nice (not sure right color, but very nice finish). Waterfall and window handle chromed. New knobs including the extra one at far left. But steering wheel and shifter are as expected on 80 year old car, the knob has been on there a long time it looks like. The exterior shots show a pretty nice paint job.

Re: '36 3 Window Coupe
Hmmm, I've always thought the Phaeton was the one worth the most money?
