Default Re: 53 Customline Value

If you have a good clean title that will really help to sell the car and will bring at least $200 extra .
From what I can see , I am thinking maybe $500 to $650 depending on how bad the interior is , what all is rusted out that will need repaired or replaced .
All the trim is there which is always a plus !
If I was looking at buying it , I would be basically looking at it for a parts car . I would clean and paint all the parts I can resell , cut the roof off to reuse and the windshield front & rear if they are good . Then the rest goes .
I really love the body style of the 53 Ford as that was the first Ford I looked at to buy when I wanted to buy an older Ford 8 years ago . Really wish I did as it was a driver with 3 on the tree and a flathead 6 under the hood . Was a decent car for the $1700 price the guy wanted for the car .
All I can say is clean the weeds away for a buyer to look at better and put an asking price of $795 on it and go from there .
Just never know what someone will want !
